100 Hungry Monkeys!

Sebe continues to have fun with the number 100 (following Let’s Count to 100! and 100 Animals on Parade!), this time bringing in more monkeys than could ever fit in a barrel. A quest for food leads the hungry monkeys to a forest teeming with fruit, followed by a harried escape from a giant green monster, who isn’t as monstrous as he initially appears to be. As in 100 Animals on Parade, the pages are packed with exclamatory chatter among the animals, and multiple seek-and-find prompts (“Do you see the monkey with a leaf on his head?”) invite close study of the whirlwind of activity taking place on every page. Ages 3–7. [em](Mar.) [/em]
