The Laceyville Monkeys

Harriett Ruderman is delighted to introduce The Laceyville Monkeys, Say the Right Words ... a new book designed to communicate to young children everywhere the power and magic inherent in speaking kindly and saying the right words. The book stars three most unusual and endearing young monkeys: Eva the ballerina, Sheva the singer, and Keva the gymnast. ust say the right words and watch them perform! Their owner, Miss Hepzibah Mott, brings her beloved monkeys to Laceyville for the big talent contest. You'll meet George the Gorilla, who plays the piano, Jake the Snake who charms all with his cobra dance, Dizzy the Lizard who parades and prances, comedians Bob and the Frog and his friend Tillie the Tortoise, and silly old Granny Scott who says the 'wrong' words and is utterly embarrassed at the results. These characters and others are part of the Laceyville cast, created to entertain and amuse children with their antics and fun, while emphasizing the importance of warm caring words of encouragement and love. The Laceyville Monkeys is written in rhyme and encompasses 32 pages of vividly illustrated characters and scenery that capture the charm and essence of the story.
