The world of Spiky, Spunky, My Pet Monkeyis one of smiles and shadows, giggles and grunge, where nothing stays dead for long, and most things explode. Nearly all the rhymes have nasty stings in the tail. Some of them leave you gasping. Others leave you rolling around on the floor, begging for new pants. From the author of Sister Madge's Book of Nunsand Tumble Turn, this is vintage gallows humour for all ages, but mainly The Middle Ages.
