Description

Far across the sea and hidden by mist, lies a mysterious island. A bizarre place, populated by talking animals, that doesn’t appear in any atlases. A land that somehow continues to change its position on the planet each day, to prevent it from being found by humans. Welcome back to the Island of Animaux!

The five new tales in Monsieur Le Chef pick up where the last ones left off. Aubrey the Turkey continues to get up to his old mischief. In one story he imagines he is a great chef, until Clifford Platypus gets mixed up with preparations for the main course. In another tale Aubrey presents himself as a great explorer, to save poor Walli Hog. The arrival of his sister forces Aubrey to face his lack of bravery. And the three friends come together to play in an exciting football cup final. Other old friends reappear and new creatures, some sinister, are also introduced. Stories packed with fun, silliness, naughty behaviour and happy endings.

Please enjoy the stories. And don’t be afraid to laugh, particularly at Aubrey’s expense. But please, please, please – continue to remember to keep the latest position of the island top secret!

I really like how the island of Animaux moves and you can search in Google Maps actual latitude and longitude coordinates to see what Island they're talking about. I like how the chapters are simply written and easy to read at a quick pace without really thinking about it. I find that is easier to follow the story in my head.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Monsieur Le Chef is a funny children's book with 3 stories in 1 book. This is the first book by Milo McGivern that I have read and I am so glad that I requested it as it has given me a good giggle. The illustrations spotted through the book are funny too and very much in the stylebof Quentin Blakes style of illustrations.
If you want a fun, silly and lighthearted read, this is definitely a book for you to enjoy.

Mysterious moving island and talking animals, you got me Milo McGivern. 
'Monsieur Le Chef' is a feel good book with 5 short stories revolving around the same characters. It essentially falls in the middle grade category but believe me, adults will enjoy this alike, if not more. The book made me chuckle throughout. 
This story is set in a mysterious, position shifting island and the best part is that the author mentions the coordinates each time there is a shift and one can locate it on google map. This is sequel to 'The Island of Animaux'. One can directly get into this book without reading the first one. Overall the book is a potboiler with equal ounces of humour,darkness and happiness.
