Missing Monkey

Sonia Watson

Available for over a year

A two-and-a-half-year-old girl from Hadleigh is a happy girl once again after being 'reunited' with her cuddly toy Monkey, which she lost on Clacton Pier. What she probably doesn't realise is just how hard her parents tried to find Monkey, which possibly might include a teeny-tiny bit of bending the truth - but for very good reasons! This all happened to Amelia Jai Pepper, known to everyone as AJ. BBC Essex speaks to AJ's mum Ellie Padbury.
