Overview

Monkey Crush introduces human hunting and so allows parents to talk about the reason people hunt. Is it for food or pleasure?

This exciting and very funny story is set in the Indian jungle where lions and tigers coexist and a group of hungry characters unexpectedly find themselves in a heap on the ground. A monkey, a lion, a tiger, and a human hunter are all brought vividly to life and a coconut surprisingly saves the day!

Imagine a world where colorful animals live and play enjoying the sun and looking for food while trying to avoid becoming lunch themselves. The Crush Series demonstrates interconnectedness by sharing humorous stories in which each animal's action can affect all the characters in the story. The books are full of hilarious situations where the unexpected can and will happen.

Author Biography

As a father of four, Ian Worboys found himself looking for fun books preferably written in rhyming poetry, to help him connect to his children, entertain them and, more importantly, develop their imagination and creativity. Unable to find such books on the shelves of his local bookshop, he started writing the stories himself. Some 100 poems later the Crush Series began. As an interior architect and mother of three children, Silke Diehl learned that playful parenting is the key to children's hearts and minds. Much like Ian, Silke had brought up her three children to express their feelings and to be creative. Silke's gentle, charming, and humorous illustrations brought Ian's stories to life and it was Silke who had the inspiration to add a song to each book.
