(2) PS Illustrated by Peter Raymundo. The Monkey from The Monkey Goes Bananas is ready to enjoy its hard-won banana--and so is The Bee. Chasing ensues (of The Bee by The Monkey) until a smack meant for The Bee comes down on...The Lion. The text is limited to simple, repeated identifiers and sounds ("The Bee," "The Bee!"); drama unfolds through the illustrations' varied perspectives, bold lines, and exaggerated expressions.

(2) PS Illustrated by Peter Raymundo. The monkey sits on one island, and the bananas sit on another, separated by a body of water. Expressive, bold-outlined cartoon illustrations play up the comedy and action as the text uses silent film–like scene-labeling: "THE MONKEY!"; "THE BANANAS!" Crafted to generate shrieks of laughter alongside shrieks of alarm, this nearly wordless book could appeal to individual beginning readers or to a storytime audience.
