Heather Sutton: My first grader was so excited to check this book out at the library we had to buy it for home. The kids think this book is the best bc it looks like a chapter book.

MamainNYC: What a joy this book is! My 5 year old loves it because he can read it all by himself. I love it because it is deeply sweet. The drawings are phenomenal--just lovely in their details. But the final chapter (spoiler alert), when baby monkey finds his mama, has so much love in it that it imbues the entire book with joy. I had the pleasure of reading this to my son's kindergarten class and they absolutely loved it! This is our go-to gift this year. Highly recommend!

lorena: Aunque parece un libro para lectores más avanzados por su formato, el sencillo texto que presenta y la repetición de estructuras lo hacen recomendable incluso para primeros lectores. Además, cuenta con magníficas ilustraciones que van contando parte de las historias, al estilo de las novelas gráficas.

NanaK: This is an adorable book, and the format makes it look and feel like a "grownup" book - hardcover, chapters. My 4 and 6 year old grandkids love it! The nuanced details are charming. I think it gives children an incentive to read by themselves.

Claudia: Il libro è piaciuto al mio cinquenne - e anche al duenne. Gioca un po’ sulla ripetizione della trama, variando i dettagli ad ogni capitolo, trovo che questo funzioni meglio per i bimbi un po’ più piccoli (appunto, il mio duenne è molto attratto dalle storie ripetitive). Le illustrazioni sono bellissime. In finale, penso sia più adatto ai piccini, oppure ad un bimbo che legge da sé.

Amazon Customer: Well crafted story line that draws the reader in and illustrations are of the highest quality. Finding the differences in the office drawings gives the reader a reason to enjoy the book even more and also provides an opportunity for a parent and child to explore how books can be more than just words. Highly recommend if you have a child just starting to read or are a parent who wants to read a book that will draw your child in and create and interest in reading for themselves.

Heidi Grange: Brian Selznick's done it again. But this time, he's revolutionized the early chapter book genre. While the book has 192 pages making it seem like a full length chapter book. The text is actually pretty sparse. This makes the illustrations the star of the show, which is awesome when the illustrator is as fabulous as Selznick. Our main character here is a baby monkey who solves crimes. In each of the five chapters in the book, Baby Monkey solves a crime. He gathers clues, he takes notes, and sets out to catch the culprit, but first he has to put on his pants. Unfortunately, Baby Monkey struggles to figure out how to put on his pants creating a running gag throughout the story. The pattern set in the first three chapters makes the changes in chapters four and five stand out all the more. And the detailed black and white illustrations work perfectly to highlight Baby Monkey's office and exploits with just enough splashes of red to catch the eye. In addition to all this though is the changes Selznick makes in Baby Monkey's office for each new case. The art on the walls and the bust on the desk change to fit the subject of the case (opera, circus, space, etc.). Thankfully, Selznick has...
