Got ruling...
It's just shortened but means the treat it should work, but if it's referring to an actual monkey or the island Zanzibar, then it defeats the purpose and is not in the spirit of the challenge.
So that would be no. :(
If you already read them (since it took us forever to actually give you answer), then you don't have to change them. If you are still working on them, then rule applies.
All done.READ: 16/16

Ohhh. Bummer. I read several books like that. (See my post.) How many do you want me to kick out. -- I was having fun finding the connections. :)
