Love this book November 4, 2008
We have almost all of Julia Donaldson/Axel Scheffler books and this one is one of my favorites to read. It's also one of my 18 month old son's favorites. I think the story is very clever, the rhyming is great which makes it a wonderful read-aloud, and the illustrations and so colorful and eye-catching that it makes it great to look at also. My son gets a big smile on his face when we get to the end and the monkey finds his mom. I highly recommend this book.
Get the British version August 1, 2008

We are huge fans of Julia Donaldson's books, having been introduced by friends in the UK. And honestly, we can't understand why the US publisher insists on changing Julia Donaldson's titles and text to "American-ize" it. The British versions are far more lyrical and rhythmic. Is "Where's My Mom?" truly a better title than "Monkey Puzzle?" Does the publisher really think we need to translate "Monkey Puzzle" because we won't understand it on this side of the pond?
Room on the Broom, The Gruffalo, Monkey Puzzle and Tiddler ("The Fish Who Cried Wolf" - really? That's a better title??) all have changes to the US text that make them a bit less appealing if you've read the British texts. We love to give these as gifts but prefer to give the British versions.
