Monkey can't wait to use his new camera in Venice... but along the way he discovers something more precious than sight-seeing! Imaginative, nostalgic and quirky, the Monkey's Great Adventures series, with bespoke hand-knitted toys, is beautifully photographed in locations all around the world. Monkey, an endearing soft toy, finds himself in all sorts of scrapes where he learns about himself and the world around him. In this first book, Afloat in Venice, Monkey is entranced by a "magical floating city that seems to grow straight out of the sea." This book includes original music composed by the highly acclaimed artist, Matt Ottley, and an additional version specifically narrated for the visually impaired. Heartwarming and unique this series brilliantly captures the innocence of childhood and will be enjoyed by all ages.
