After lulling the zookeepers to sleep, a marimba-playing monkey and the other animales party at the zoo. Most of the text in this lively alphabet book is in English, but each page includes a Spanish word (usually the name of an animal) that is a cognate. At times the generally rhythmic text is jarringly offbeat. A translation and pronunciation guide is included.
