review 1: Though still pretty funny, this has been my least favorite of M.I.B.'s children's books so far. There's plenty of silliness, the character names are hilarious, and who doesn't like a book with a mischievous chinchilla!? But, this one is difficult to read aloud, as it's mostly just one big, long-winded question. I like the illustrations when they're not focused on the kinda creepy monkey. Again, this book was ok, but I'd recommend Chicken Cheeks, I'm Bored, or A Pig Parade is a Terrible Idea!
review 2: My 2-1/2 year old loves this book. The monkey is essentially telling a joke about a purple kangaroo. It's a silly story, but silly is what kids love. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that it's not one of those "I can read it every night and it doesn't ge... moret old books." My husband and I get tired of reading this over and over. Plus, the illustration of the monkey's eyes being hypnotizing scares my son a little.But overall, nice book. We'll be returning this back to the library and purchasing it to add to our library. less
