What is better than a fun story about hundreds of little animals (like 999 Tadpoles)? What is better than a Where’s Waldo search? Try 100 Hungry Monkeys by Masayuki Sebe (Kids Can Press, 2014)!
In this story, 100 hungry monkeys need something to eat, so they start looking for it and they end up having an adventure. Each page has adorable illustrations of the monkeys with additional things to find in the illustration. It’s a fun trip with the same crazy illustrations by the same illustrator as in Let’s Count to 100! and 100 Animals on Parade. This book is more difficult than those two because in this book all the animals are monkeys. They are similar to each other, and yet each one is different.
My son (age 5) liked reading this book. He said it was difficult to find things on each page. Strawberry was a bit too young to truly enjoy it, but even she liked the monkeys.
Note: I received a digital review copy of this book for review consideration.
