I loved how the monkey tricked those crocodiles, and how they thrown those coconuts to those CROCODILES. Mango Island?! woah I love mangos I've read about a monkey throwing coconuts at crocodiles, and getting to mango Island with the sweetest mangos in Philippines, the island is surrounded by deep water with crocodiles in it. My favourite character was the monkey and its the best. It interested me how its in Philippines I would recommend it to someone else

The monkey was very silly because he's stealing from the mango tree. The crocodiles are stupid and there are twenty crocodiles. I would not recommend this book to someone else.

My best bit was the last story because it had the most tricks in and Coyote was very clever. I didn't think that a lion could take down a coyote and eat him for dinner. My least favourite was at the end of the first story when hare got home he should have thought about what could have happened when he came home.

This was so fun reading because the crocodiles got tricked twice. I liked monkey because he was brave.It did interest me because the crocodile did not try to get the mango. I would recommend it to someone else because it is very funny.

it was fun book

I thought the crocodiles were foolish because the crocodiles were easily tricked and so the monkey got to the mango island. This is a fiction book and I liked the monkey the most because she was clever. It really interested me beacause I was curious to know how the monkey was going to cross to mango island? I would say the monkey was clever and the crocodiles were foolish .
