Inspired by a real-life toy monkey, this book of short stories takes you
on wild adventures where you will meet hungry crocodiles, grumpy cows,
and lots and lots of monkeys! With a short reflection at the end of each
chapter, this is perfect for getting to children to reflect on issues
that they will have to face as they grow up. A long time ago Mary Weeks
Millard adopted an abandoned monkey puppet from a box of odds and ends
that had been put up for sale in the hospital where she worked. She
named it Safari and took it with her when she travelled as a missionary
to Africa, using the puppet as a way of teaching the children there
about Jesus and how much He loves them. This is what inspired this book
of heart-warming, and edifying, tales following Safari around the forest
he calls home. Excellent writing paints a vivid picture of so many
interesting characters, each with their own story to tell, and lessons
to teach.
