About the Book: In the jungle a monkey with a huge appetite can't stop eating every animal he comes across.
Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: Taking the familiar tune of "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" this monkey eats everything that comes into his path. Some of the animals are strange indeed, so this could be a great book to use to introduce unique jungle animals. How often do you see sloths or toucans show up in stories? But overall, I wasn't all that impressed with the book. All the animals just sort of hung out in the monkey's stomach as he eats each one. It's a funny book and I'm sure kids will like all the eating and burping, but it wasn't my favorite version of the familiar tale.
