Four illustrated short chapters relate Monkey and Robot's tales of misunderstanding, cooperation, and friendship. Robot, though mechanical, is always up for an adventure; Monkey has a lot to learn; both buddies are equally likable. Readers looking for funny friendship tales but who think that Frog and Toad and other early readers are a tad too easy will find this duo just right.
