amazing...
it is a very good book and the main character is called Maisie.
Great work!
If you have read Moon Rabbit, you won't be disappointed with Monkey King's Revenge. Loved reading this with my 9 year old son. He thinks there should be a Monkey King cartoon animation!!
I love how the characters come alive and really stick in your mind - colourful pictures really help.
What a wonderful story! My kids really loved reading this book together. They got hooked on Moon Rabbit the first book and were so excited trying to guess what would happen in the Monkey King. They talked it about a lot during the day waiting for bedtime to come around to get back to the story. Definitely captured their imaginations. The illustrations really bring it alive and we loved the ending.
A perfect sequel for his previous title Moon Rabbit. Love both.
Great story, great illustration!
