Review

Young zoo visitors are disappointed that the apes in the jungle are so lethargic and not fun to see. They do not know that they are tired because of all the dancing and romping they do at night. They feast on bananas and marshmallows then launch into lively dancing and fun. Jungle Jed comes twice to get them to quiet down, but eventually joins the fun. In the morning, everyone is tired from all of the activity and goes to sleep. Illustrations are bright and full of activity and fun. There is lots to look at and will make children laugh. Rhyming text will also attract them. It is a very active book for bedtime, but a fun read.

Overall Book Score: very good
