Official Review: The Monkey and the Rhino by Daniel Murray

[Bianka Walter]

Interesting that we were just discussing in another thread the children's books or movies with that underlying "adult" layer. I always loved it when there was something that I was reading to my girls or watching with them that made me sit up and take note. About the capitalization - many, many people are confused by animal names, and some are even so confused that they alternate between lower and upper case in their writing. It's a real dilemma!

I so enjoyed your review, yet again, thank you, Bianka!

I must say, I far prefer animated movies these days over normal 'adult' movies. The humour is so clean and the dialogue is refreshing.
On that note, I am learning German (impossible, by the way - I don't recommend it), and the Germans capitalise ALL of their nouns. So yes, a little Giraffe here, or an Impala there, who really cares. OBC is making me a grammar nazi of note!

Thank YOU, Janine, for your kind and considerate comments!

You're so welcome You know, your comments always make me laugh out loud! Yup, definitely agree with you about the animations - took my 2-year old to her first movie, "with poppaporn and coke" ( that was more exciting for her than the movie) which was Bambi - won't mention which year - and I've been a convert ever since!
Ah, I did German intensive at university and didn't notice that - too busy trying to get the hang of all their other weird and wonderful grammar. Interesting! Now I'm trying to get the hang of Portuguese... another weird one!
Grammar nazi...lol. Absolutely!

I like the colorful pictures and the moral of the story where the monkey looks up to the rhino as a role model because of his experience. This would be great for kids. Thanks for the review.

This seems like an excellent lesson to learn, for children and adults alike. Thank you for a wonderful review!

It seems to be creative and unique collection carrying sumptuous messages in it. It's a great blessing in the form of literature for the childrens containing both joy and meaning in it!
