In Asian lore there are three famous monkeys. They’re the ‘see no evil’ monkey who covers his eyes, the ‘hear no evil’ monkey who covers his ears and the ‘speak no evil’ monkey who covers his mouth. These three monkeys are the ones we’ve all heard of, but they’re not the best monkey of all. The best monkey of all is the fourth monkey, because he’s the monkey who does no evil. ‘Monkey No. 4’ is his story of triumph in the jungle. And for all who read it, it’s a small lesson about good and evil in the jungle of life, and the wisdom to tell the difference between the two.

Neil Johnson

Neil Johnson is a copywriter and Creative Director of an international advertising firm in Singapore. He led a travelling life thanks to his Dad’s naval career, and grew up in India and Europe. Neil is married with two grown up children and Singapore has been home since 1993. While growing up, his children – like all children – asked umpteen questions. The answers to those questions have become the stories he writes.

Joel Chin

Joel Chin is an art director and Creative Director of the same international advertising firm in Singapore. He and Neil worked on this book while putting in long hours ‘bouncing’ ad campaign ideas. A very early riser who walks faster than most, he tries to channel this restlessness into ideas that travel across multiple platforms. He has since illustrated children’s books, created 3D steel and ice sculptures and designed alphabet furniture to promote reading.
