"Water is rising! / The hippos are stuck! / Spin those wheels! / Go, Monkey Truck!" The jungle animals can always count on Monkey Truck, whose "overdrive engine burns banana gas," to rescue them. Frolicsome art hints at the greater delight kids could experience if this primate-vehicle-hybrid protagonist were given a plot.
