Look insideNight Monkey, Day Monkey
When they try to play together, Night Monkey and Day Monkey find out how differently they see the world. From fireflies to butterflies, shadows to parrots, they just can’t look at things in the same way. But do you know a secret? Getting on with someone else doesn’t mean you have to be the same as them. And in spite of all their contrasts, these cute and cuddly monkeys soon learn to be the best of friends!
