PreS—Hijinks abound in this spare tale as a monkey, tired of being photographed, grabs a tourist's camera and turns it on tigers, frogs, elephants, and other animals. Some of them are gleeful and others are displeased. Finally, after his swing around the jungle, Monkey hangs his photos on a tree where everyone gathers to view themselves and revel in Monkey's accomplishments. This is a slight story, but the strong-lined, brightly colored illustrations provide a path to introduce children to the brilliant patua folk style of Bengal.—Barbara Elleman, Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, Amherst, MA
