by Mark Jordan Jonathan's eleventh birthday is only a few days away, and that's the day all spider monkeys climb their first tree. There is a special tree for that climb, and many of the villagers will be there to watch and to celebrate. But the tree is so tall that Jonathan is suddenly very afraid. His little brother, David, encourages Jonathan and assures him that one day he will be able to climb the tallest trees. Jonathan's fear worries him. Will he really be able to climb? Then, one day, David falls and lands on a very small ledge. Jonathan must climb to save him. Will he be able to do it? This uplifting story of family support is a strong character-builder to tuck the kids into bed with. It helps to teach the importance of courage, and gaining the strength to do the right thing in the face of fear. Mark Jordan's colorful, expressive artwork in this unique book adds greatly to the story. Kids will love the wonderfully detailed illustrations. Among the books to help build character, this one is a shining star. Courage the Monkey will be a bedtime favorite that you will read again and again. |
