I think this book is suitable for children about 6 to 9 years old. First of all, I want to say that I appreciate the author very much, since he not only takes monkeys as main characters to exchange the role between animals and human beings, but his works are all meaningful to me.
I had read three of his works, and I found it’s interesting that the author likes to mock some conditions by using cute pictures. For example, in the same series there’s a book named “Willy and Hugh,” and one of its illustrations is they (two monkeys) decided to go to a zoo, and they saw a family living in a “cage” – human being family!! A father, a mother and a son sit in the cage with unhappy facial expression. The picture shocked me a lot! I think it’s ridiculous but interesting. I like the way that the author used to show his ideas.
Also, the author used monkey to play characters in the book. It mainly talks about four people all have different views and different feeling in a same thing. There’re four characters in the book – mother, father, girl and boy. I think the plot is very close to our daily live that we all have different living pressure which we may show to our family. Everyone worries about their own business, and we may ignore others’ feeling. And even ignore what other thing happened in the world. We only care about what we cared, and then we loss more and more things.
From this book, we can realize everyone has his/her own difficulties, and we may also feel the pressure of adults. Adults are unhappier than children, since they have to worry about more annoying things, and they have more responsibilities to the world. However, children are happy and innocent, what they care are more pure. In children’s world, they also can feel the negative emotions from adults, but they may not understand the reason. They still feel happy when they can go out and have fun, and they are willing to make new friends. I think the book enables me to think about my attitude to the world, and it’s the most important to me. I wonder if I also ignore something happy because of something unhappy. When I meet difficulties, maybe the best way is to make it easy, and consider it by changing a side. It’s not good and unworthy to be unhappier just because we growing up.
In short, I think the meaning is significant, but may also be too hard for children to understand. As a result, I think it’s suitable for 6-9 years old children so that they may old enough to understand. In addition, it’s better that teachers or parents read it with them, and induct them to think about some questions, for examples, why the man and woman unhappy? Why the girl and the boy seem happier than their parents? Do their parents care about their children’s feeling? How will you do to please your parents? Why four people have four feelings? Why the author showed it? I think the relevant questions can help children to think about some deeper ideas, or they may miss the direction of the book, and they may even don’t understand the meaning.
