To be honest, this was one of my favorite books when I was a child. So when I saw this book on a shelf, I had to read it to find out whether or not it stood up to the test of time or whether it was just as horrible as the other books that were my favorites.
This one stood up to the test. I love this story. It's funny, suspenseful, and intelligent. The illustrations are kind of bland in color, but it's an old book so I guess that's to be expected. They're still very creative and amusing, though. And the way in which the matter is resolved is quite funny, I remember laughing every time we read that book when I was a kid.
My only question is... where does he live that there are monkeys just hanging out in trees right outside of town?

Very monkey see monkey do story. Made the kids in my class giggly.
No longer certain how this particular classic illustrated children's book ended up on my radar, but it was exactly what I needed. Charming illustrations, very simple plot.

This wouldn't be so bad if you only had to read it once. But as a children's book it has to read well repeatedly. And nothing happens. The monkeys don't say anything interesting or do anything interesting. Nor does the man. And its not especially funny.
