Monkey Do!

Summary: Chaotic Fun!
Review: A smart little monkey finds keys to the cage and, once he frees himself, embarks on a rhyming adventure, eating Baby's banana, saving a stranded kitty, romping all over town, only to find himself back in the arms of his monkey mom. Reminds me of "Goodnight, Gorilla", plot-wise, but has an original tone. I love it!

Review: Monkey Do! is a fantastic childrens book. I have bought this for all my grandchildren. They are ages 5,4 and 6 months. It is entertaining and easy for them to read with me. The illustrations and the large type make it move fast and the children do not get bored. They story keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. We also look at the illustrations and talk about what is going on. Monkey Do!is more than a story it is an interactive book that looks at a normal family's life in one day when a monkey gets involved.

Summary: Monkey Do!? Kids will too!
Review: This rhyming tale of a mishcievous little monkey on the loose from an urban zoo depicts the adventure and fun all children live for. Because of the simple plot, the story is captivating, fun and amusing. The illustrations make for a colorful bonus to accent the story. Though the story is short and simple, every read promises to be entertaining!
Allan Ahlberg really did a great job writing this one. He anchored his story around the phrase Monkey See, Monkey Do. The mischief this monkey gets in is hilarious. Though one reviewer claims this monkey doesn't come close to comparing with Curious George, it is the loveable monkey's character and playfulness that makes this story really rock. Monkeys are fun characters in children's books and this one is no different. Ahlberg even plays with the rhyme to pen a few new catchy phrases for the monkey's antics. Keeping the wording simple captivates readers and makes this an excellent selection for group sharing.
Andre Amstutz also contributes brilliantly to this treasure. His ink and watercolor illustrations are bold and exciting. Every page is busy with vibrant color and exciting action, befitting the characteristic of the monkey. With every turn comes a bundles of sights for children to see. The sights in this book encourage children to talk, identify, and engage in a lively and fun story.
I have not yet read this story to children at storytime, but plan to do so next week. I'm confident they will love it. I also look forward to purchasing two copies myself. One will go into my own children's book collection because it is an excellent work. The other is a gift for my nieces. Their love for fun and animals will be inspired by the adorable antics of another loveable monkey.
