About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a phase of testing boundaries or when you find yourself repeating the same rules over and over. It is the perfect tool for a lighthearted conversation about why rules exist, even when the forbidden fruit (or in this case, mango) looks incredibly tempting. This story follows three little monkeys who decide to ignore their mother's warning for just one taste of delicious fruit. While the tone is humorous and suspenseful, it captures the psychological pull of 'maybe' and the social pressure kids feel to go along with a risky plan. Chris Haughton's signature bold art and repetitive pacing make it an ideal choice for toddlers and preschoolers who are learning to navigate impulse control and the consequences of their choices in a world full of big temptations.
