Everyone's favorite monkey is back sharing his secrets on life.

Most of us have a favorite toy that we have kept and can look at it with fond memories. Such is the case with Squeak, my son's best childhood friend, his stuffed monkey. Through the years Squeak was the keeper of my son's secrets. He is now a story teller sharing his heartfelt wisdom with all. This collection of stories will bring a smile to your face and help you remember the simple pleasure of simply wanting that new red bicycle or learning how to deal with a very serious problem. Squeak's comments and information will help you to slow down and wonder about the small things in life. His messages shared with you in this book will help you to realize you are not alone in the joys and fears you face in your everyday life. It is my honor to present Squeak's second book featuring my son's favorite toy. Squeak is not just the star of the show but the reason it all came to be.
