<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A trio of misbehaving, mango-loving monkeys have a close call as the creator of <i>Don't Worry, Little Crab </i>gives readers a taste of vicarious mischief. </b> <p/>Three little monkeys and their big monkey are sitting high on a branch in the forest canopy. "OK, monkeys! I'm off,"<i> </i>says the big monkey.<i> "</i>Remember . . . Whatever you do, do NOT go down to the mango tree. There are tigers down there." <i>Mmm . . . mangoes! </i>think the little monkeys. They LOVE mangoes. <i>Hmm . . .</i> M<i>aybe</i> . . . maybe they could just<i> look</i> at the mangoes. That would be OK, right? With vivid colors, bold shapes, and his trademark visual humor, Chris Haughton is back with a deliciously suspenseful cautionary tale about pushing boundaries--and indulging your more impish side (when nobody is looking).<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Perfect for group sharing. . . .
