The Three Little Monkey’s by Quentin Blake Emma Chichester Clarke

“But that is the sort of thing you have to expect if you have three little monkeys.”

The collaboration between  Quentin Blake and Emma Chichester Clarke creates a colourful, humourous and timeless picture book which will make you laugh, cry and possibly feel a little anxious!
The Three Little Monkey’s teaches us about patience, love and the things that we do for those we care about.  It also teaches us to perhaps look at situations from different perspectives before we make a judgement.
Collage and pencil form the eye catching illustrations and give more meaning to those big round monkey eyes, despairing Hilda and many marvellous monkey antics!
This is a wonderful read for children of any ages – and especially meaningful to parents through those trying times!

Thanks so much Vanessa for coming out and sharing your book “The Bee Detectives” with our children 3-5 years old. The experience allowed them to learn so much more about Bees. We have had our native Bees for several years and had beekeepers out before. Your book took an in-depth look into classification, different ways they live, how they collect pollen and make honey.  It created lots of meaningful conversation with the children; your interactive book reading allowed them to share these ideas with each other. The extended activity afterwards of the magnifiers provided by Vanessa was a great extension to the book. The children were so excited to be their very own Bee detectives and really extended their learning.

I was impressed with Vanessa’s professionalism in preparing the teacher notes for my picture book, In the Shadow of an Elephant. Her depth of knowledge on the multitude of topics covered was just incredible! She has compiled a 15-page document that will allow Educators and students an opportunity to explore conversations and discover different layers within the book. Georgie Donaghey
