Description

A species of monkey previously unknown to science has been discovered in Africa: and boffins say that it has an "extensive" bright blue bottom which rivals that of the largest and most colourful known monkeys on Earth. Soprattutto dopo che ho avuto modo di testarlo: quando l'ho letto alla classe dei più piccoli (a 3/5 anni hanno una soglia molto bassa di attenzione) erano interessatissimi! Nick Schon was born in London and now lives in Luton with his wife, three children and five lazy cats. The artist Nick Schon has used brightly coloured gouache, painting in flat broad strokes, but inserting a few details where appropriate.

A few years ago I was main illustrator for Longman's 'Story Street' reading scheme, illustrating 79 titles and writing 5. The lesula, which is the first new monkey found in Africa for 28 years, is remarkable in particular for its vibrant colouring.She didn't like taking baths, so reading this story and having the bath crayons got her into the tub to wash her bottom! The story is good for KS1, to help them to identify colours, patterns and all the different animals.

I've been described as an 'Animal Artist', not I hasten to add because I'm wild and hairy but because I love to draw animals and especially like to give them human characteristics. In this rhyming book the answers to the colors of the some of the animals we are all familiar with is explained with some wonderful illustrations.

The Lesula is known to live exclusively within only 17,000 square kilometers of mature evergreen forests in DRC’s eastern central basin, between the middle Lomami and upper Tshuapa rivers. My 4 year old brings it to me weekly as one of our nightly books and my preschool class got quite the giggle when I read it for our lesson about mandrills. I was reading it as a possible storytime book, but I'm not sure how well the talk about painting the monkey's butt might go with some of our parents. Except, now, the lesula - and as the new contender is smaller overall, its mighty blue arse may be presumed to be even more striking in effect.

He paints a leopard bright yellow with black spots; he puts brown squares on a giraffe, a white stripe on a skunk, and white circles around a bear's eyes. Steve is the author of Smelly Peter the Great Pea Eater (Winner of the Sheffield Children's Book Award 2009) and The Lamb Who Came for Dinner (Shortlisted for the Red House Children's Book Award and read by Meatloaf on CITV's Bookaboo). To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. About the Author: Steve Smallman has taken up writing his own stories after illustrating children's books for over 30 years.The challenge now is to make the Lesula an iconic species that carries the message for conservation for all of Congo’s endangered fauna,” says John Hart. The Lesula ( Cercopithecus lomamiensis) seems to have escaped previous scientific notice because of its remote habitat, which was largely unexplored by professional biologists until recently.

The lesula's blue buttocks, then, are not merely bigger than those of any other monkey in its family: they are such as to rival the enormous and glaring posterior of the Mandrill, the largest monkey in the world.When he spots a big sleepy bear he decides to have some fun and draw some spectacles on him, but the Bear wakes with a start and soon all of the other animals are wide awake too. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. Steve has been illustrating children’s books for almost 30 years and writing his own stories for slightly less. Read by Justin Fletcher (CBeebies Mr Tumble) and actress Sophie Thompson, this funny story is sure to delight toddlers everywhere.
