Baby Monkey is a baby, and a monkey, but he is also a private eye. When the baker has loses his pizza, or the clown has loses his clown nose, Baby Monkey knows just what to do. Being a PI is hard work and in the end, Baby Monkey is pretty sleepy when his solves his last, and most important, case.I saw this book with stars in the review journals and at first I thought it might be a novel. It did, after all, have 190 pages. After I read some reviews, I thought it might be in the intermediate section, but finally I found it in the Easy Reader section along side Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat. Can an Easy Reader really have 190 pages, five chapters, an index, and a bibliography? I guess so. It really is an easy reader, with only about 100 very simple words total in the whole book. The reason it is so long is because it was created by Selzinck, the same guy who created the Invention of Hugo Cabret. The book has darling black and white illustrations that tell the story, and the words are just sprinkled about when needed. It is really cute and will delight even the earliest readers because they will be able to "read" a real chapter book all by themselves. (191 p. 2018)
