Off They Run!

It’s two stories in one, upside down and all around, in this playful board book starring a tiger, a monkey, and a lizard!

In this funny, rhyming story with a unique twist -- readers can turn the book upside down to see the story continue -- a monkey is happily eating a banana when he sees a tiger. Off he runs through the forest, dodging perils until he reaches safety at the end of the book by running up a tree. That’s when the fun really starts....

Curious kids can turn the book upside down for another story! Watch Monkey swing through the trees back through the book, now the chaser, after a lizard!

Katie Cotton’s whimsical story pairs perfectly with Rob Hodgson’s fun-loving illustrations for a rollicking tale that kids will want to read again and again.
