K-3Mr. Monkey series.
In both comedic stories, Mr. Monkey gets into lots of trouble but ultimately prevails in his goals. The spare early-reader texts appear partially in speech bubbles. Mack's cartoony digital illustrations, a mix of vignettes and full spreads, help tell the stories and add elements of slapstick; Mr. Monkey and his antics take center stage, but there's notable effort at inclusion and multiculturalism in the human casts. Review covers these Mr. Monkey titles: Mr. Monkey Bakes a Cake and Mr. Monkey Visits a School.
