The Boy Who Went Ape

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Richard Jesse Watson. On a zoo field trip, a chimp switches places with a boy and joins the class as they move on to other destinations around town. The active boy fits in with the chimps, while the chimpanzee remains incognito despite creating disruptions. Busy paintings make the most of the premise, but it all becomes too over-the-top when the chimp subdues a bank robber.
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
