1. Monkey-Monkey's Trick

Monkey-Monkey's Trick is a fun story about a clever monkey who outwits all the other animals. This book was special for me and my siblings because our mom introduced it to each of us when we were around three years old. It quickly became a favorite for all four of us. We loved the monkey's antics and the clever ways he outsmarted the other animals. Buy Monkey-Monkey's Trick
