Originally published as: Monkey puzzle. A butterfly tries to help a lost young monkey find its mother in the jungle, meeting many different animals along the way. When little monkey can´t find his mother, butterfly offers to help in the search. Little monkey says that his mother is big, so butterfly leads him to . . . an elephant. No, that´s not right! Little monkey says his mom is furry, so butterfly leads him to . . . a bat. That´s not right either. From then on, little monkey and butterfly meet many jungle animals, but they don´t find Mom until little monkey comes up with just the right description. With Julia Donaldson´s effortless rhyme and Axel Scheffler´s vibrant illustrations, this circular tale combines funny miscommunication with a little bit of science for a charming feel-good adventure.
