Plot
I remember somewhat liking this as a kid but it doesn't hold up into adulthood and really should not be promoted for kids.
I don't hate all zoos. Some animals are not better off free and some zoos do a good job of making appropriate enclosures and properly exercising, feeding, and socializing their animals. But the idea of capturing a Lil monkey, bringing it across the ocean and trapping it is not cute and the man in the yellow hat is not a friend. Taken literally, it's not great. A lot of people notice undertones that are even more problematic. I don't think it's an evil book with evil intentions but I don't love it.
