Maggie's Monkeys

32 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-3326-4 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Abby Carter. Maggie insists that a monkey family is living in the refrigerator. Her older brother, unlike their parents and sister, can't bring himself to indulge the fantasy--until his friends make fun of Maggie. This sweet story takes on more than familial loyalty: it's also about outgrowing (and re-embracing) one's fantasy life. The spirited pencil and gouache illustrations depict big bro's changing attitude.
