Baby Monkey, private eye

About this book

Who is Baby Monkey? He is a baby. He is a monkey. He has a job. He is Baby Monkey, Private Eye! Lost jewels? Missing pizza? Stolen spaceship? Baby Monkey can help ... if he can put on his pants! Simple funny story with few words but very intricate, detailed and intriguing illustrations. Each of Baby Monkey's five cases starts in Baby Monkey's office and each time the office is decorated differently with pictures on the walls all linked to the theme of the case. The author/illustrator has picked all sorts of historical sources for his illustrations which is explained in a few pages at the end of the book. Lots of references to pick apart and discuss as readers pore over the images. It's a picture book but it's also a bit of a treasure trove. Just gorgeous.
