Summary from SPL: A little girl and her toy monkey love imitating different animals, everything from jumping like kangaroos to waddling like penguins.

Booklist: This review was positive about the “rhythmic, patterned text” that makes this a great read-aloud book, and called the illustrations “expressive” and “charming,” even though the ending is “a bit of a letdown.”

Publisher’s Weekly: This review was less critical, primarily describing the plot and the illustrations in the book. It noted that even though the girl and her monkey fall asleep at the end, “the game has not ended: a real monkey watches them, a huge and contagious grin on his face.”
