We Have a monkey like that. I even have a photo of him on my blog!
It’s a backpack, yes?
No it’s a hand puppet, so ours can move its mouth !. It’s as big as a real monkey. Looks exactly the same as yours…. and is a real favourite with everyone!
I think the one I photographed is a backpack, I see a strap on the left… I’ve seen people walking along the street with a monkey on their back…
This one does a picka back very nicely , very huggy for watching tele by, never walked along the street with it though.
