Monkey's clever tale

When Ameerah Monkey wants to cross the river, she hatches a plot to trick crocodile into helping her.

But how will she escape being his next meal? And will Crocodile ever get his pot of Monkey Tail Soup?

This traditional African-Caribbean tale is retold with a twist by storyteller, poet and anthologist Andrew Fusek Peters.

Amanda Montgomery-Higham's illustrations perfectly capture the humour and vitality of this tale.
