D.R. Tara is back with Book 3 of the popular collection of kids short stories, Judge Monkey and Other Stories. This latest offering features cunning animals and foolish characters that make for a rambunctious reading time with kids. The stories are teeming with life lessons that kids can easily learn and assimilate.Just like the two books that came before it, Book 3 is as endearing and charming, with colorful illustrations that capture the essence of the stories. The volume appears to target children  ages 9-12 because of the themes highlighted in the book. Younger kids can also enjoy this with a little explanation from mum and dad.What’s quite different in this book, as compared to the two previous iterations, is that themes of greed, self-indulgence, and cunning ways are emphasized to teach lessons on humility, generosity and selflessness. This is a clever way to drive home a point to kids so they can easily separate the bad from the good. This book is a fantastic read and should be part of any kiddie book collection at home.
