Mappo, the Merry Monkey

Richard Barnum

Mappo is a clever young monkey who lives high in a jungle tree with his family. As the oldest of his siblings, he's smart enough to know that there's more to life than swinging from branch to branch. When adventure calls, Mappo answers it, leaving his treetop home for distant lands filled with strange creatures and new friends. This is old-fashioned adventure at its finest - the kind of story that sparked a million childhood imaginations. Mappo faces challenges with wit and bravery, learning about friendship, courage, and the wide wonderful world beyond his familiar jungle. The story moves with the swift, satisfying pace of the best children's adventure tales. Perfect for early readers or for sharing aloud at bedtime, Mappo's tale has been charming children for generations. It captures that magical feeling of a first adventure, the thrill of the unknown, and the comfort of knowing that courage and cleverness can see you through anything.
