Illustrated by
Jill Barton.
Monkeys Cheeky and Chee are happily playing, but "something's prowling-- / what could it be?" The leopard below looks "Ooooooh....Scary!" to Cheeky and Chee, but the ground-level illustration of the big cat isn't very threatening. Fox's peppy rhyming text propels the story forward; similarly, Barton's art draws the eye across spreads, keeping pace with the narrative's infectious energy.
