THE ADVENTURES OF PIPI THE PINK MONKEY - CARLO ...

A rediscovered gem from Italian children literature  written by the author of Pinocchio 
translated and expanded by Alessandro Gallenzi and illustrated by Axel Scheffler (the
illustrator of the Gruffalo). Pipì isn't like his four brothers or the other young monkeys
living in the forest of Hullabaloo: he has bright-pink fur  a mischievous character and a
rebellious streak that lands him into all sorts of scrapes. In this story  an expanded version
of Collodi's original tale  we see him lose his tail to an ancient crocodile  end up as a valet
to a young master  fall into the hands of flying bandits and become emperor of a tribe of
apes.Collodi wrote this story immediately after Pinocchio  and the little monkey's adventures
present clear similarities  both in terms of themes and characters  with his more celebrated
masterpiece. This rediscovered gem of Italian literature  beautifully illustrated by Axel
Scheffler and preserving all of Collodi's trademark wit and linguistic crispness  will delight
and enthrall a new generation of children.
