Bookroo's summary

In the heart of the jungle, Monkey cherishes his solitude until Little One, a persistent mouse, arrives. Monkey's attempts to reclaim his peace only lead to unexpected loneliness. As he grapples with this new feeling, can Monkey find a way to welcome Little One back and discover the joy of friendship? This tale explores the transformative power of companionship and the realization that sometimes, being alone isn't as fulfilling as sharing life with a friend.

From the publisher

Monkey lives all alone in the jungle—and he likes it that way. Then Little One, an adorable mouse, appears and turns Monkey’s life upside down. Wherever Monkey looks, whatever Monkey does, Little One is there and doing it too! But when Monkey finally succeeds in sending Little One away, he feels . . . lonely! Can he win back his friend? With Claire Alexander’s softly hued, tropical artwork and her sibling-friendly message, Monkey and the Little One tenderly teaches children the value of friendship.
