"Three Little Monkeys Ride Again" by Sir Quentin Blake and Emma Chichester-Clark (HarperCollins Children's Books)

We must admit we hadn't heard of Sir Quentin Blake's "Three Little Monkeys" series but here the amazingly talented artist and storyteller puts down his pencils and lets another giant of kidlit take the reins for a whole new version of these cheeky busy little tales.

"Three Little Monkeys Ride Again" by Sir Quentin Blake and Emma Chichester-Clark sees those naughty little monkeys causing absolute havoc on a mini holiday.

Hilda Snibbs takes her three mischievous monkeys to visit her mother in the country.

But what is supposed to be a calm and peaceful holiday is soon filled with chaos and hilarious havoc!

Every time Hilda and her poor mother leave them alone, those simian troublemakers completely trash the place - often with hilarious results. But after such naughty behaviour, how can they possibly redeem themselves?

A fab story for little ones who just won't be able to resist those naughty antics, beautifully illustrated by "The Chich", drawing up beautiful scenes of serenity punctuated by utter destruction in such a hilarious way that you just can't help laughing at those monkey antics.

Sum this book up a sentence: A collaboration between two utter legends in kidlit, resulting in a fabulous book for little ones fizzing with energy, chaos and mischief.

"Three Little Monkeys Ride Again" by Sir Quentin Blake and Emma Chichester-Clark is out now, published by HarperCollins Children's Books (kindly supplied for review).
