Monkey knows there’s a MONSTER hiding in the bathroom because it leaves a HUGE MESS behind. Will Monkey discover who the bath monster really is?
Monkey, an endearing soft toy, finds himself in all sorts of scrapes where he learns about himself and the world around him. In this second book in the Monkey’s Great Adventure series, The Messy Bath Monster, Monkey goes on a wild and wobbly adventure … in the depths of a bathtub!
Written and uniquely photographed by Tina Wilson, with a fabulous assortment of hand-knitted characters by Joan Wilson, this picture book includes original music composed by award-winning artist, Matt Ottley, with text narrated by the author. A perfect read aloud escapade.
Heartwarming and unique, this playful adventure series brilliantly captures the innocence of childhood and will be enjoyed by all ages.
This book is proudly part of The Sound of Picture Books live performance initiative.
