Synopsis

A funny, anarchic and utterly delightful picture book. A classic of the future. Hilda Snibbs takes her three mischievous little monkeys to stay with her Uncle Gilbert for Christmas.

But what is supposed to be a traditional holiday is soon filled with chaos! Hilda begins to regret bringing the three little monkeys with her – until, one night, their antics come in very handy . . .
