review 1: It's beach day for Monkey Ono's family, and he is determined to join them. But when his plan backfires and his family leaves without him, he has to figure out a new way to the beach. Nothing works, though. Will Monkey Ono have to give up on having the beach day he craves?This is a hilarious story about one toy monkey's refusal to miss out. Monkey Ono's creativity and optimistic outlook are inspiring; while each failure disappoints him, he comes right back with a new plan and loads of enthusiasm.

A fun summer book. This would be a cute one for a beach themed storytime.
