Illustrated by
Erik Brooks.
Smoothly adapted from a broad array of identified sources, these fourteen tales are organized into three sections: monkeys in Africa and Madagascar, monkeys in the Americas, and monkeys in Asia. Proverbs from several countries are scattered among the stories, which include fables, a myth, legends, and folktales. Brooks adds congenial humor and features many different monkeys in richly colored scenes. Bib.
