Haughton’s picture books tell stories as much through his
idiosyncratic images as through words. This involving,
laugh-out-loud tale of monkeys who don’t do as they are told
features funny faces, intense colour and a lesson about risk.
*The Sunday Times*
A wonderfully mischievous cautionary tale, delivered with
characteristic style and wit.
*The Bookseller*
Maybe…, Chris Haughton’s new book is ELECTRIC! A smidge of simian
curiosity, a pinch of peril, mangoes... And a large helping of
tigers.
*Ed Vere*
Chris Haughton has returned doing what he does best; creating yet
another impossibly fun and beautiful cautionary tale about pushing
the boundaries and learning life lessons. In just a few words, he
gives us suspense, humour and memorable characters that are taken
to heart immediately. […] The bright, primary colour palette and
simple shapes and design, this picturebook is so appealing! Cheeky,
funny, irresistible…get ready to read this one over and over and
over…
*Fallen Star Stories*
The book is beautifully illustrated and Dylan loves spotting the
tigers and telling the monkeys there IS a tiger there! It’s a very
engaging read and a book you can have even more fun with by acting
out monkey sounds and tiger sounds. The colours are bright and
beautiful making it uplifting even when it’s a rainy day!
