Page 1 When I wake up, the sun shines bright, And Monkey’s there—my morning delight! “Good morning, Monkey!” I squeeze him tight. He grins at me, my snuggle knight. Page 2 Monkey’s my buddy, my partner in play. We laugh, we dream, we plan our day! “What should we do, Monkey?” I say. He’s ready for fun in every way. Page 3 The rug’s a jungle, green and wide. “Hold my hand, Monkey, stay by my side!” We swing through trees and leap so high. “Look out! A crocodile!” I cry. Page 4 By afternoon, we’re pirates bold, Sailing seas of blankets rolled. “Treasure ahead!” I shout with glee. Monkey steers us across the sea! Page 5 When it rains, we build a fort, A cozy, secret blanket sort. “No grown-ups allowed!” I say with pride. Monkey nods—it’s safe inside. Page 6 When I’m sad, he’s always near. He hugs me tight and wipes my tears. “You’re the best,” I say, feeling okay. Monkey makes the clouds go away. Page 7 At night, we look at the stars so far. “Do you think there’s a Monkey Star?” Monkey tilts his head just so, As if to say, “Of course, you know!” Page 8 I tell him secrets, big and small. “Do you love me, Monkey, most of all?” He hugs me close and holds me tight, Filling my heart with love and light. Page 9 “Monkey’s not real,” Mommy might say. But I know better—he’s real my way. She smiles and tucks us safe in bed. “You’re lucky to have him,” she said. Page 10 As I dream, we swing and soar, Through jungles, seas, and so much more. “I love you, Monkey,” I softly coo. And in his hug, I feel it, too. Page 11 Morning comes, soft and bright, Monkey’s here—my heart feels light. Page 12 With a hug, we start the day, Best friends forever, come what may.
