AND SO THE MONKEY LAUGHED by JULIAN BOUND and ANN LACHIEZE

The #1 Leading book on Buddhism for Children

When a young boy sets out on an adventure one morning along a jungle forest path, the animals he encounters on his journey open his eyes to a new world.

From author and National Geographic contributor Julian Bound and well-known children's book illustrator Ann Lachieze, 'And So The Monkey Laughed', a story book for children exploring the foundations of Buddhism as seen in the principles of:

• Kindness
• The Present Moment
• Compassion
• Mindfulness
• Karma

As the boy is accompanied through the jungle by a wise monkey, together they meet a host of jungle animals including a tiger, crane, several monkeys, and a friendly elephant, each of which provide a valuable lesson for the boy.

Told with great subtlety and beautifully illustrated with fifteen colourful paintings, 'And So The Monkey Laughed' is ideal for parent and child to read together and discover Buddha's wisdom and moral guidance.

Presenting engaging characters and an enchanting adventure, 'And So The Monkey Laughed' is also an appealing book for all children who love stories about animals, be they Buddhist or not.

Note From Publisher:

Written with sensitivity and without preaching, 'And So The Monkey Laughed' provides a positive foundation towards a child's development, presenting the essence of good morals, ethical conduct and honesty, all of which can accompany each individual child as they walk along their path through life.

An ideal antidote for today's modern world of social media and reality television, found within Buddha's teachings first given over two millennia ago.

Age range: 5 to 10 years old
