“Hold on to your sunglasses, because Varanasi’s monkeys snatch anything that isn’t tied down. Its pictures have all the zip of an animated film, set in streets that feel like home.”
A whole city outwitted by monkeys, until the damroo man rides in.
The Damroo Man and the Monkey Gang is a funny picture book set in Varanasi, where a mischievous monkey gang has the whole city in a muddle.
The monkeys of Varanasi are everywhere, snatching hats and bags and bothering shopkeepers and tourists alike. They are far too quick to catch, and nobody knows what to do. Then, dum-dum-a-dum-dum, along comes the damroo man with a sneaky grin, a clever idea and a tasty treat up his sleeve.
Why children love it
- Chaotic street scenes, with monkeys swiping hats and backpacks from startled tourists.
- A drumbeat to join in with: "dum-dum-a-dum-dum!"
- The damroo man himself, in a tall striped hat on a dazzling painted scooter.
