Socked Monkey - A book by a talented young lady.

The other day I was given a wonderful and colourful book titled: Socked Monkey by a talented young lady named Rowan.

She has been the proud owner of Dale for over a year now and featured him on

the first spread.

Rowan goes on by imagining many other sock monkeys. Monkeys, such as Mary who loves animals and Too Much Stripes who loves the colour red, are rendered with carefree strokes and bold crayon lines.

Rowan ends the book by telling the reader about how much the monkeys like to "flip up" which I feel is a strong and finale that leaves this edition open to the possibility of a sequal. I believe that the little monkey in blue pen could become a lovely watermark or even a logo to brand a series of socked monkey books.
