Synopsis

In the heart of the jungle, a mischievous monkey is up to no good—dropping banana skins, tossing coconuts, and causing all sorts of trouble. When confronted, he cheekily denies any wrongdoing, always claiming, "Not me!" But when he tickles the elephant, the monkey gets a surprising splash that might just teach him a lesson. This lively tale, filled with repetition and humour, is perfect for young readers building their confidence.
