From the award-winning creators of Baby Goes to Market comes a delicious tale of mischievous toddlers, juicy mangoes, and cunning monkeys—starring the letter M.

Oh look . . . M is for Monkeys!
Oh NO! M is for Mine!
M is for My Mango!

M is for morning, and M is for little Mo and his beloved mu mu. M is for Mama pouring milk in a cup, and M is for the moi-moi in Mo’s bowl that is mushy! Outside, a man tinkers with a motorbike, playing music that sets Mo to dancing. But when Mo spies a perfectly ripe mango in a tree, only to see it snatched by a monkey, it’s mayhem! Time for Mama to shake her mop and shoo some monkeys away! Are there enough mangoes to share? Wait, where is Mo? In a follow-up to B Is for Baby and L Is for Love, Atinuke’s exuberant alphabet book, set in Nigeria, doubles as a cozy family story that opens into happy chaos, perfectly tuned to the youngest readers.
Atinuke was born in Nigeria and spent her childhood in both Africa and the United Kingdom. Her books include the Anna Hibiscus series, illustrated by Lauren Tobia; the Too Small Tola series, illustrated by Onyinye Iwu; Beti and the Little Round House, illustrated by Emily Hughes; and Africa, Amazing Africa, illustrated by Mouni Feddag. She is also the author of L Is for Love; B Is for Baby; Baby Goes to Market; Baby, Sleepy Baby; and Catch That Chicken!, all illustrated by Angela Brooksbank. Atinuke lives in Wales.

Angela Brooksbank, a former designer and art director in children’s book publishing, is the illustrator of L Is for Love; B Is for Baby; Baby Goes to Market; Baby, Sleepy Baby; and Catch That Chicken!, all by Atinuke. She lives in London.
