A Crown for the King: Monkey Tails Carla Wellington

Meet the king of the jungle! A Crown for the King is part of the Monkey Tails children's book series highlighting African wild animals. Each book introduces its own endearing characters, while entertaining and educating readers with their adventures in the wild. The lion is known as king of the jungle because of its majestic appearance and awesome ability to hunt. Lions live with other wild animals on the plains, known as savannas. In this delightful story, Shumba the Lion needs a crown to show that he really is king of the jungle. He asks his friends, the wise but sleepy Owl and his naughty yet clever friend Monkey, for their assistance. Their antics amuse and entertain, as they take children on a creative and exciting journey to the wild savannas. The story offers a glimpse into rural African life and uses some African words along with the English translations. If you've ever wanted to visit Africa, this is the book for you! Imagine a drumbeat from a nearby village echoing in the darkness while the lions roar as they pace the sleeping wilderness. Imagine sitting around a smoky fire, listening to stories told to wide-eyed children about the animals that live in the untamed savanna. Imagine Africa ... Carla Wellington lives in Zimbabwe. She is a former hotelier, specializing in event management and marketing. Her stories were originally written for her young grandchildren. Their enchantment with the animal characters is what prompted her to share the stories with the world. She hopes to make a difference in underprivileged Zimbabwean children's lives through the Monkey Tails series. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/CarlaWellington
