''I've lost my mum!''
''Hush, little monkey, don't cry, I'll help you find her,'' said Butterfly.
But somehow Butterfly keeps getting it wrong. Will Monkey ever find his mum?
Axel says:
I drew lots of monkeys on my sketch book before I decided on the look of the little monkey who lost his mum. This book is a little different from all the other books with Julia as all the pictures are double spreads. I enjoyed drawing all the different kinds of animals and the jungle vegetation - which I kind of made up (unlike Henry Rousseau when he did his jungle paintings, who went to the botanical gardens). It was the first time I could do the skies separately from the foreground - they were put together on a computer by the publisher.
