(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Hui Hui Su-Kennedy. Jiang's smoothly shaped narrative is developed as a continuous fantastical adventure of cosmic proportions; each chapter brings trickster Monkey's humorous saga to a critical point, pulling the reader into the next episode. Pen drawings convey the comic quality of Monkey's character. Jiang provides a tale that will be greatly enjoyed both as read-aloud fare and by individual readers, with the promise of more to come.
