A bunch of competitive monkeys and their elephant friend discover amazing cave paintings. When the monkeys try to make their own art, they learn that not everything has to be a contest. Vibrant, playful pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations have a cave-painting look (the monkeys' faces were created from thumbprints). There are too many ideas going on, but at its heart, the tale celebrates creativity.
