Pipi is not like other monkeys from Halabala forest. She has pink fur, a mischievous demeanor and a tendency to mischief that always gets her into trouble. In this retelling of the story by Carlo Collodi, the author of Pinocchio, the monkey Pipi loses his tail in an encounter with a crocodile, ends up as a servant to a young master, is captured by flying bandits and becomes the ruler of a tribe of monkeys. Collodi wrote this story right after Pinocchio. The adventures of the pink monkey show a clear resemblance to the literary classic. The rediscovered gem of Italian literature, complemented by Axel Scheffler's beautiful illustrations, has preserved Collodi's traditional wit and linguistic fragility and will delight and enchant a new generation of children's readers.
