Great group of stories to teach simple lessons through the antics of 3 monkeys and their friends.
Hooey woke up thinking he was going to have a wonderful day
because the sun was shining brightly. It seemed from the minute he slid down
the tree and got a splinter, then got bonked in the head with a coconut that
his day was not going to be so great? What do you think? Will he have any
blessings to count?
Hooey was a messy monkey. Booey was always telling him
something bad was going to happen if he didn’t clean up his room. Read this
wonderful tale to find out just what could and did happen.
