This is a fabulous book for all little dino fans with a sense of humour。 Ten freshly hatched baby dinosaurs sneak away from Mum to explore and immediately get into all sorts of trouble with other， bigger dinosaurs， flesh-eating plants， geysers and volcanos。My first thoughts were， hey， this is a bit scary for little kids， but I sat down with my 2 year-old grandson， and he loved it so much I had to read it six times in a row！ He’s mad about books and has lots of them， but this has turned into a fi This is a fabulous book for all little dino fans with a sense of humour。 Ten freshly hatched baby dinosaurs sneak away from Mum to explore and immediately get into all sorts of trouble with other， bigger dinosaurs， flesh-eating plants， geysers and volcanos。My first thoughts were， hey， this is a bit scary for little kids， but I sat down with my 2 year-old grandson， and he loved it so much I had to read it six times in a row！ He’s mad about books and has lots of them， but this has turned into a firm favorite。 Yes， the ideas are a bit frightening， but the crazy， colourful illustrations make the baby dinosaurs’ misadventures so funny， it’s impossible not to laugh。 The real clincher is the page about dodging heaps of poo！I love books that lend themselves to being read aloud， and this is right up there， with lots of scope for funny noises， faces and gestures。 Plus， the illustrations have loads of interesting detail， so there’s something new to discover and talk about every time。 On the educational side， it’s a fun way to get little ones thinking about counting backwards and the concept of subtraction。A real winner and easy 5 stars。 。。。more

Teaching children about opposites， Night Monkey Day Monkey is a great way of introducing little ones to the idea that even though things might look similar on the outside， they can be very different on the inside！ I'm not surprised I loved this one - Julia Donaldson's picture books are always superb - I'm just surprised that I only heard about it at storytime a few weeks ago， because this is one of her better books。 Teaching children about opposites， Night Monkey Day Monkey is a great way of introducing little ones to the idea that even though things might look similar on the outside， they can be very different on the inside！ I'm not surprised I loved this one - Julia Donaldson's picture books are always superb - I'm just surprised that I only heard about it at storytime a few weeks ago， because this is one of her better books。 。。。more

I really like the comparisons you can make within this story。 it could be a good hook to kick start a topic based on comparisons- what we do compared to another country。 Also lovely illustrations。

Another new addition to our ever growing Julia Donaldson collection。 Beautiful illustrations and a nice easy to follow story， with the message that even when you are different you can still be friends。 My 5 year old daughter loved seeing all of the different things the monkeys had to show each other。 I can see this one becoming a firm favourite。 I'll be quite sad when her obsession with Julia Donaldson ends or I run out of new ones to surprise her with。 Another new addition to our ever growing Julia Donaldson collection。 Beautiful illustrations and a nice easy to follow story， with the message that even when you are different you can still be friends。 My 5 year old daughter loved seeing all of the different things the monkeys had to show each other。 I can see this one becoming a firm favourite。 I'll be quite sad when her obsession with Julia Donaldson ends or I run out of new ones to surprise her with。 。。。more

Night Monkey Day Monkey by Julia DonaldsonNight Monkey Day Monkey is a very simple yet charming children’s book by the same author who brought us the children’s classic ‘The Gruffalo’。 The book revolves around two monkeys Day Monkey and Night Monkey who as the names suggest sleep and wake at different hours of the day。 Each monkey takes the other on a journey through the worlds they live in。 The story starts at night， when Night Monkey wakes Day Monkey from his sleep by whispering “you can’t cat Night Monkey Day Monkey by Julia DonaldsonNight Monkey Day Monkey is a very simple yet charming children’s book by the same author who brought us the children’s classic ‘The Gruffalo’。 The book revolves around two monkeys Day Monkey and Night Monkey who as the names suggest sleep and wake at different hours of the day。 Each monkey takes the other on a journey through the worlds they live in。 The story starts at night， when Night Monkey wakes Day Monkey from his sleep by whispering “you can’t catch me”。 Day Monkey then chases her and experiences the Jungle as he’s never seen it before。 Night Monkey teaches him all about Fireflies， Bats and other things that only come out at night。 The story then takes us the other way， in the early morning Day Monkey wakes Night Monkey by whispering “you can’t catch me” in her ear。 Day Monkey takes Night Monkey on a similar journey， teaching her all about Parrots， Chimpanzees， and other things that are out in the day。 The two Monkeys decide that they do not like the others worlds but decide to meet every day at dusk when it’s not quite day and it’s not quite night， to share some bananas and be with their new friend。 This is a lovely children’s book all about friendship。 This story looks at the differences between the jungle during the day time and night time giving children the opportunity to spot the different animals that come out in the night and the day。 But It also reflects on the difference between the two monkeys themselves， it shows children that even though they are very different they can still be very good friends。 The book is full of simple but compelling rhymes that even adults can’t help but get sucked into and the illustrations by Lucy Richards are colourful and vibrant， they really make the Jungle come to life。 This book is obviously meant for early years age children and is perfect for Story time。 However I have had experience using this book with SEN children in English lessons， the pictures are clear， the language is simple and as I have said the rhymes are very engaging。 Its offers plenty of opportunity to spot and discover the different animals， so there are a lot of exercises that can be created around this story。 。。。more
