A cute and sweet book (with plenty of humour) about 3 little monkey who think that it is safe to look at the mango’s, but is it?

In this adorable book, aptly named Maybe, we meet 3 little monkeys who hear from their mom that she is off for a while and that the three have to stay in the tree, because it is DANGEROUS near the mango tree. You know, standard mom warnings (just without mangotrees and tigers in our lives). I could understand that the 3 little monkeys were thinking. And thinking. Because maybe? Just maybe? Looking isn’t bad? Mom never said anything about that. And those mangos are looking mighty fine! I was looking forward what would happen next!

Because you know how kids are. First it is looking, then it is goes further than that! And we as the reader see that there are tigers lurking in the shadows, the illustrations clearly show us that DANGER is right around the corner. You just wish you could step into the book and warn the trio. Tell them that those mangos are mighty fine, but not worth the risk! Though, if I could step into the book I would probably just give them a mango. Haha. It got really exciting and a thrill. I mean, I know that there will be a happy end, almost all children’s books end with that, but still you are worried for the trio’s safety.

The ending. OH NO! XD

The illustrations were really fun and I loved the style!

All in all, a fun book about listening and that looking often ends into touching or just going for what may not be the best choice. Though kids here probably won’t get tigers after that, like this trio did.
