Looking for a modern take on fable that is friendly and entertaining for 2 to 5 year old children? Then check out Lazy Monkey!
The story tale is a subtle reflection on human behaviour through the eyes of animals. Key characters include Cheeky Monkey, Pretty Bird, Giant Ant and Old Tortoise. The freshness and vividness of the story provide an excellent introduction to morals for children.
The storyline takes the children on an emotional journey (i.e. sad - happy) through which the main characters learn or teach a valuable lesson, becoming better people in the process.
The illustrations were produced in an almost theatrical or filmic style where each picture is a scene with something new to show. There is an impressionistic feel to the work, a direct result of the light and effects on the subject matter that bring life, vitality and movement to the sketch-like paintings.
Storyline: Lazy Monkey lived from day to day, picking food from the trees whenever he felt like it, never thinking that the food might one day run out. But one day, all was washed away in a terrible flood. Will Pretty Bird, Giant Ant and Old Tortoise give in and share their food with him or will Lazy Monkey use mischief and practical jokes on them to get what he wants?
