Review

The latest installment in the "Monkey and Elephant" early reader series, this book is a charming tale of friendship that also examines manners, social skills, and responsibility. The "Babysitting Adventure" follows the lead characters as they demonstrate the balance between fun and positive conduct while looking after Monkey's three energetic nieces and nephews. Written in short paragraph form and divided into three chapters, the book spans a total of 48 illustrated pages, making it an ideal choice for beginning readers as they make the transition to more textually-based books.

Overall Book Score: excellent
