When pampered pet monkey Emily begins wrecking everything in sight, Madame DuBois, her keeper, makes the difficult, if ultimately sound decision, to put her in a zoo. The book has something important to say about letting go, but it takes an awfully long time to say it. The loose, bright images of the chic Madame DuBois and her accessorized monkey are a pleasure.
