Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2-Mr. Monkey is determined to win his video game. "He runs. He ducks. He climbs. He swings. He jumps. He falls," and-"GRR!"-he loses. Just when he thinks things can't get worse, a little bird swoops in and takes his controller, leading the monkey on a merry chase in which he runs, ducks, climbs, swings, jumps, falls, and is again thwarted and then rescued by his foe. He's soon too tired to play his game even when he gets the controller back, and by that time young readers and storytime attendees will be spent too, as this delightful romp will be sure to have them yelling along with the "he runs, he ducks" refrain while joining in Mr. Monkey's indignation at having his game interrupted. The bright cartoon illustrations of Mr. Monkey's travels form a fun backdrop to the zaniness. VERDICT Fans of Mr. Monkey Bakes a Cake and Mr. Monkey Visits a School will snap this up; try it with others who like a rollicking adventure.-Henrietta Verma, Credo Reference, Jackson Heights, NYα(c) Copyright 2011.

Rated 1,000 🌟s by my 5 year old “because it’s funny how the monkey tries so many times to get the controller but he can’t because of the bird!” Mr. Monkey begins this funny adventure by playing a video game but while he runs, climbs, swings, ducks, jumps and falls he still can’t beat the hardest level because a baby bird gets in his way! Back in reality, a real bird steals Mr. Monkey’s controller and life imitates the game as he tries to get the controller back; he runs, climbs, swings, ducks, jumps and falls along the journey. He encounters a mama bird and an angry moose who add to his challenge! No spoiler here; you’ll have to read to find out if he ever retrieved the controller. We loved how persistent and dedicated Mr. Monkey is throughout the story and I have already used him as an example when my little guys say they can’t! The talking bubbles were read by my 5 year old and it’s a great way to get early readers participating in reading in a low stress way. You’ll for sure hear some giggling while reading this one! It came out yesterday so grab it from your favorite bookstore or library (and if you haven’t read the first two in the series feel free to pick those up too because they are just as silly).

5.0 out of 5 stars Dare I say better than Elephant and piggie!! For boys
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2021
So good for emerging readers! This one is the third in a series. It’s got the repetition of a story, but an appeal to this audience with exposure to video games and humor. My 6yo and 9yo loved it!
