Reviews

"Weathered textures lend each vehicle a comic gravitas, and the way the conveyances interact offers mechanical and character-based amusement. Through it all, the curious little monkey remains admirably cool and mischievously confident-and as delighted by the surroundings as readers will be." -- Publishers Weekly "a satisfying addition to Timmers' collection of crazy (but logical) cars." -- The Source "The silly antics of the little monkey provide forward momentum, but the details in each illustration kept calling us back for a more thorough examination." -- The New York Times, New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children's Books 2019
