Rule #1: Monkeys are always funny, and the evidence is here in Armstrong and Small’s wordless and comic adventure. When a street performer’s monkey gets loose and steals a banana from the local market, the stray peel sets off a chain reaction of hijinks throughout the city. Dogs, bicycles, skateboards, grocery carts, and baby buggies all play a role in building comic mayhem as the performer pursues his pet across an urban landscape filled with rhyming signs. Detailed illustrations, bright colors, and bold linework highlight the action on every page.
