Reviews

I am reading the Spanish version, it's title "íNo Seas Descarado!" which translates to "Don't be Cheeky!"
Love the artwork!

Read this book with a class today and it can cover bullying but some points were funny where a monkey teased everyone until he sees his bum

[Melissa]

Charlie is a monkey looking for some fun, but his idea is to tease the other animals and generally be mean.

I didn't find Charlie particularly cheeky... I thought he was more mean than cheeky. It could depend on your definition of cheeky. I did enjoy the joke on him at the end.

[Nicole Smith]

Charlie the monkey teases and makes fun of everyone he meets, until someone points out that he’s not exactly unfunny looking himself.
It’s a good lesson told in a humorous way. My daughter loves this book. The illustrations are fantastic, and a bit cheeky themselves.
