Today's picture book is Monkey with a Tool Belt by Chris Monroe. When cute little monkey Chico Bon Bon is captured by a nefarious circus organ grinder (to replace his previous monkey who ran away), he must use his wits, and his handy tool belt, to escape. Loads of detailed drawings and diagrams, many of them absurdly hilarious, depict Chico's activities and ultimate triumph over the organ grinder. I really want to write a reggae song with this title, but I haven't gotten any further than (imagine a reggae beat) "Monkey with a TOOL belt." So really, not such a great song so far. Ah, well.
If you like Chico, you'll also want to read his next adventure, Monkey with a Tool Belt and the Noisy Problem.
