Three little monkeys, and their big monkey, are sitting high up on their branch in the forest canopy. "OK, monkeys! I'm off," says the big monkey. "Now remember. Whatever you do, do NOT go down to the mango tree. There are tigers down there." Mmm . mangos! think the little monkeys. They LOVE mangos. Hmm... maybe, maybe they could just look at the mangos? That'd be OK, right?

"Four friends creep through the woods, and what do they spot? An exquisite bird high in a tree! 'Hello birdie, ' waves one. 'Shh! We have a plan, ' hush the others.

But as one comically foiled plan follows another, it soon becomes clear that their quiet, observant companion, hand outstretched, has a far better idea. Award-winning author-illustrator Chris Haughton is back with another simple, satisfying story whose visual humor plays out in boldly graphic, vibrantly colorful illustrations."--
