Long long ago, an old magic stone suddenly cracked open after lying in the sunlight and moonlight for thousands of years. From the shell of the stone, a little Monkey was born. Adopted by the Monkey King in the mountain, Little Monkey was very naughty and playful. One day, while playing in a tree, he fell. When the Monkey King tried to save Little Monkey, he was terribly injured. To save the Monkey King, Little Monkey had to journey across the ocean in search of the immortal pill. With help from the Immortal Turtle, the Phoenix, the Dragon King and the Immortal, the Little Monkey gained a powerful body. Could he find his way home to save the Monkey King?Other books in the Chinese Zodiac Series (as well as the year of that animal) include:Little Pigs and the Sweet Rice Cakes2007 & 2019Magical Rooster2005 & 2017Water Dragon2012 & 2024Snake Goddess Colors the World2013 & 2025Horse and the Mysterious Drawing2014 & 2026Sheep Beauty2015 & 2027Bronze Dog2006 & 2018 Little Rat and the Golden Seed2008 & 2020 Little Calf2009 & 2021
