Publisher's Synopsis
Teeny! Tiny! Mini Monkey! is an illustrated story of a tiny monkey who finds friendship. Mini Monkey learns what makes him different is also what makes him special. This book is a perfect gift for preschool children and young readers.
Mini Monkey is sad because the other monkeys tease him and won't play with him because he is such a small monkey.
One by one, Mini seeks out the larger animals in the forest to tell him how to grow bigger; first, the giraffe, then the hippo, and finally, the elephant. Mini is very sad when the large animals cannot tell him how to grow.
When there is a crisis in the forest, Mini's unique small monkey body is just what is needed, and he becomes a hero, and the other monkeys befriend him.
