My Little Blue Monkey is so funny to watch! He especially likes to try on my little red dress with the yellow belt because it makes me laugh, and he really likes to play hiding games with me. But his favorite thing is food he loves to eat bananas, oranges, apples, and plums from the plum tree by my window. We also like to play hopscotch, climb the plum tree, play with my new dollhouse, and explore nature! One day, My Little Blue Monkey decided he wanted to buy this little red wagon, but he didnt have any money. His mommy told him she would give him an allowance if he helped her clean. His plan worked he saved enough money to buy his little red wagon and still have a little bit left over! My Little Blue Monkey makes me laugh all the time and is my best friend, so I was happy to see him happy! Read my book to learn about all the other adventures me and My Little Blue Monkey have!
