Imagine a world where colourful animals live and play their lives out, enjoying the sun and looking for food, whilst avoiding becoming lunch for someone else. Then, just as they are about to eat, another animal comes along to spoil their perfect day. The Crush Series are a humorous look at how one situation can influence another situation and that even then something else completely unexpected may affect the whole outcome. The books are full of hilarious situations where the unexpected can and will happen in order to save the day.

Monkey Crush introduces human hunting and so allows parents to talk about the reason people hunt. Is it for food or pleasure? The scene is set in India where lions and tigers still exist together. The story brings coconuts to life and shows how an unexpected lunch can save animals from being eaten or hunted.
