This book is so much fun, even grown-ups laugh out loud at the stuffed monkeys and what they say, do and think! I read this at a Christian school and the kids were amazed and highly amused by it. I read it while my daughter held the book open to show the pictures (which were totally brilliant!). The kids signed up on a list of who wanted to check it out of the library, vying for first person to do so. I laughed out loud at the entire book, as an adult, so I know it's a safe, appropriate book for kids.
