Maybe…

Shortlisted for the Shropshire Bookfest Picture Book Award 2022

We all know a cheeky monkey who doesn’t like “no” and is always thinking, well, maybe…

Three little monkeys are sat high in the forest canopy, and when big monkey leaves for the day, they’re expressly told NOT to go down to the mango tree, no matter how yummy and tempting they may be. But, maybe a little look won’t hurt? Maybe they can just have a quick peek? Maybe…

From master picture book maker Chris Haughton comes a funny, suspenseful and keenly observed cautionary tale about pushing boundaries and indulging your more mischievous, cheeky side. A perfectly tuned story that will have little ones screaming “they’re behind you!” and in giggles watching the cheeky monkeys explore.
