DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"Dream and Swine and Aurora," "Deep in the Rubber Forest," "Fish Bones," "Allah's Will," "Monkey Butts, Fire, and Dangerous Things"—Ng Kim Chew's stories are raw, rural, and rich with the traditions of his native Malaysia. They are also full of humor and spirit, demonstrating a deep appreciation for human ingenuity in the face of poverty, oppression, and exile. Ng creatively captures the riot of cultures that roughly coexist on the Malay Peninsula and its surrounding archipelago. Their interplay is heightened by the encroaching forces of globalization, which bring new opportunities for cultural experimentation, but also an added dimension of alienation. In prose that is intimate and atmospheric, these sensitively crafted, resonant stories depict the struggles of individuals torn between their ancestral and adoptive homes, communities pressured by violence, and minority Malaysian Chinese in dynamic tension with the Islamic Malay majority. Told through relatable characters, Ng's tales show why he has become a leading Malaysian writer of Chinese fiction, representing in mood, voice, and rhythm the dislocation of a people and a country in transition.

But that means there's some seriously speedy planning needed to make sure it's a celebration to remember. Monkey rushes through the jungle to get the special cake, funky band and colourful decorations he needs, but nothing seems to be going right. That's until he meets a super-chilled sloth, who teaches him how to slow down and really look at, listen to and experience the vivid world around him in a much more mindful manner. The rhyming text, set to a jumping, jungle beat, is written by Dr Jess French, CBeebies presenter, vet and conservationist, and is brought to life with beautiful illustrations by emerging talent, Anna Terreros-Martin. The book includes a charming info-spread on the animals featured and mindful tips for parents and children.

Why doesn't it run or fly or play or hunt like the rest of us? "Why are you so slow?" the howler monkey inquires. But the sloth doesn't answer any questions until the jaguar asks, "Why are you so lazy?" Anyone who has ever felt too busy will appreciate the sloth's peaceful lifestyle and realize that it's okay to take time to enjoy life. Eric Carle' s dazzling collage illustrations introduce readers to the exotic beauty of the Amazon rain forest and the many unusual animals living there.
