Media Reviews
This offering will delight young readers... A perfect read-aloud trio. Recommended.--Gail Hamilton Canadian Materials (05/07/1999)
Mischievous monkeys of all kinds are the main characters in these retellings of three well-known folktales from around the world... Gugler's stories are retold in a fanciful and humorous manner. Her use of poetry in some parts and the richness and rhythm of the language contribute to readers' enjoyment of the tales. Text is simple, large and easy to read, with many words and direct quotations printed in boldface type for emphasis. Van Kampen's watercolour illustrations, rendered in the bright colours of the tropical jungle-- green, fuschia, blue, yellow, purple, red-- are bold, striking and humorous, adding a playful touch to the text. This offering will delight young readers who will likely laugh out loud as they read about the monkeys' funny antics. A perfect read-aloud trio. Recommended.--Gail Hamilton Canadian Materials (05/07/1999)
