Publisher's Synopsis
Cyril is different from the other monkeys at the zoo - he is a mandrill from West Africa with unique facial colouring and markings. When winter comes, the animals are moved indoors and they quickly become bored with their never-changing surroundings. However, the monkeys soon realise that Cyril's colours are a delightful reminder of the outside world and they come to accept him as a friend and appreciate his differences.
