"Tales For Your Monkey's Mind by Steven Michael Reedy is a book of fables where everything is not always as it seems. Stories about toy factories, clowns, magical storybooks, witch's spells, and more each give a different moral about life and what's most important. Overall, it's an ambitious and imaginative work of children's fiction. The book will lead to a lot of interesting discussions between parents and kids, as the morals in each tale are multi-layered. Definitely recommended for kids and adults alike." 4 stars SPF: Self Publishing Review "The charm in this book is that these life lessons are fleshed out in a manner that children will understand and adults will applaud... an imaginative, well written and thought-provoking treasure for both children and adults." Tracy Miller, talknerdywithus.com "Life is full of unexpected twists and turns and so is this book. Tales for Your Monkey's Mind is sure to appeal to deep thinkers and philosophers, both young and old. What a nice reminder to keep in touch with one's childhood and to keep a fresh mind.... Collectively the stories remind us to be true to ourselves, let go of perfection, and to live authentic lives." Bianca Schulze, The Children'sBook Review "Characters in fantastical settings teach preteen readers about the value of forging your own way in life... Tales for Your Monkey's Mind is a wonderful book for readers of any age, but perhaps especially for those in the ten-to-thirteen age group. Its stories address the uncertainties of preteen years in age-appropriate language and style. Tales for Your Monkey's Mind could prove to be one of those rare juvenile fiction books that survives adolescence to one day be read fondly by (or to) another generation." - 5 Stars Peter Dabbene, Clarion Review (Foreword Reviews)

“Tales For Your Monkey’s Mind by Steven Michael Reedy is a book of fables where everything is not always as it seems. Stories about toy factories, clowns, magical storybooks, witch’s spells, and more each give a different moral about life and what’s most important. Overall, it’s an ambitious and imaginative work of children’s fiction…, the book deftly manages to be two things at once: dark and fun. That’s a very tough balance for a kid’s book, but Reedy pulls it off. The book will lead to a lot of interesting discussions between parents and kids, as the morals in each tale are multi-layered. Definitely recommended for kids and adults alike.”(4 out of 5 stars) SPF- Self Publishing Review
