Monkey Business

　　The jungle is astir. Something very, very exciting has happened beneath the old family tree. What could it possibly be? Whatever the cause, it certainly has the jungle denizens in a tizzy. In six glorious, bursting-with-color-and-energy pop-up spreads, Paul Stickland yet again dazzles young readers with brilliant, reach-right-out-and-grab-you self-activating pops. Follow the monkeys through the jungle as they gather their neighborhood friends - elephants, tigers, giraffes, and alligators - to unveil something that makes them feel so proud. Big brothers and big sisters will be especially delighted to discover the new arrivals nestled snugly within the shrubbery...and can even rock them to and fro simply by pulling a tab. Using the same lilting, chant-along rhyming text and pop-up wizardry he displayed in his bestselling Truck Jam and Big Dig, Paul Stickland has added an outrageously hilarious jungle menagerie to his masterful repertoire.

　　Author Biography: Paul Stickland's backlist includes some of the most popular dinosaur books ever, as well as such favorites as The Christmas Bear and One Bear, One Dog. The creator of Truck Jam, he lives with his wife and five sons in Somerset, England.
