Description

A remarkable collaboration that brings together giants of the picture book world to create a funny, anarchic and utterly delightful picture book. A classic of the future.
Hilda Snibbs takes her three mischievous little monkeys to stay with her Uncle Gilbert for Christmas. Among many amazing things, Uncle Gilberts prized possession is an ancient golden teapot, so the little monkeys must be very good. But what is supposed to be a traditional holiday is soon filled with chaos! Hilda begins to regret bringing the three little monkeys with her until, one night, their antics come in very handy . . .

Quentin Blakes delightfully funny story is brought to life by Emma Chichester Clarks beautiful mixed-media illustrations in this irresistible follow-up to Three Little Monkeys and Three Little Monkeys Ride Again.
