Chaos abounds as twenty-six naughty monkeys stir up trouble in alphabetically named order when their (human) parents go out. The mischief begins with Andy's paper airplanes and continues boisterously through Yates's yo-yos, until the beleaguered parents put the monkeys back into bed to rest for a next-day zoo visit. Zany, rollicking illustrations add to the fun and help to counterbalance the sometimes-awkward rhymes.
