Chico Bon Bon is a clever tool belt–wearing monkey who can build and fix things--exactly the skills he needs to escape from an organ grinder who has kidnapped him for the circus. Readers will be drawn in by this quirky hero's dramatic tale. Monroe's varied illustrations range from clean and simply composed to highly detailed, depending on Chico's changing situation.
