From the creators of B Is for Baby and L Is for Love comes M Is for Mango, an irresistible and sophisticated first book of words perfect for pre-schoolers learning their ABC.

A warm and funny introduction to M words for babies and young children learning sounds and words, perfect for reading aloud at storytime, gifting for a toddler's first bookshelf, and sharing with children trying new food.

M is for Morning. M is for Mo. Mmmm! M is for mango! Oh look... M is for Monkeys!

Mo wakes up to see Mama serving milk and moi-moi for breakfast. But what Mo really wants is a mango, and the monkeys have lots of mangoes in their tree... Set in a family home in West Africa, M Is for Mango is a playful, adventurous, and big-hearted picture book with accessible, simple language, vibrant illustrations, and a dash of mischief, mayhem, and mess.
