Vacationing monkeys just want to have fun, but when one monkey too many joins the
crowd, everyone’s in for some unexpected adventure!
crowd, everyone’s in for some unexpected adventure!
Seven mischievous monkeys wreak havoc as "one monkey too many" climbs first onto a
bike made for one, then into a golf cart for two, then into a canoe for three, and so on.
The two monkeys on the bike crash into a ditch, the three monkeys in the golf cart
splash into the lake, the four monkeys in the canoe drop over a waterfall. An infectious,
rollercoaster rhythm sweeps us up who dictate how many monkeys each scene can
contain. Not even the author is spared a dose of monkey business when "one monkey
too many" pulls a grand-finale gotcha that literally determines the uproarious fate of her
book. -- Copyright © 1919 The Horn Book, Inc. All rights reserved
