review 1: Great read-aloud that was a big hit with the 2nd grade class that I read it to. The premise is that a monkey tells you that he can read your mind. He tells you that he's thinking of a purple kangaroo, and that makes you think of it! And of course, the fact that the purple kangaroo roller skates, juggles, and has a chinchilla friend named Senor Ernesto de Pantalones definitely contributed to the laughs. Ages 4-8
review 2: Two of my favorite Children's Book authors, Comedian Michael Ian Black, and Peter Brown take on this story of a hilarious and sneaky little mind-reading monkey. He knows just what you're thinking about. In fact, there's a full two-page spread of his huge eyes staring into yours just so he can extract the truth! Voila! You're thinking about ... morea Purple Kangaroo who is on the hunt for his best friend, a wild-eyed chinchilla named Senor Ernesto de Pantalones. Right?Right.This would be a PERFECT storytime book for the kindergarten/1st grade crowd. less
