Illustrated by
Brian Selznick.
In five chapters, diminutive gumshoe Baby Monkey solves cases following a predictable pattern, with occasional small variation. New readers will delight in the details in the brief text and the shadowy, noirish black-and-white illustrations with pops of red. The cute little monkey's anthropomorphized facial expressions and the spot-on slapstick pacing of putting-on-pants sequences will have viewers giggling for days.
