The monkeys and the hats
Description:
Storyteller: Chris Smith
A funny story in which a hatmaker gets his hats back when monkeys copy him but the monkeys have the last laugh.
This is a great story for listeners to join in with, and for copying actions. For a good written version we recommend Monkey See Monkey Do in Hugh Lupton's The Story Tree: Tales to Read Aloud (Barefoot Books).
We would like to thank Guy Parker Rees for the monkey illustration.
