Written by Judy Sierra & illustrated by Will Hillenbrand [Ohio]

In this rhymed retelling of a traditional Asian tale, a clever monkey uses her ability to count to outwit the hungry crocodiles that stand between her and a banana tree on another island across the sea. 40 pages

"Sierra composes spry limericks and couplets, while Hillenbrand creates a printmaking effect with inky black outlines and repeat images; re-readers will find witty subtleties in the already uproarious mixed-media paintings. Working with traditional materials, author and artist arrive at an altogether fresh presentation." -Publishers Weekly, Starred Review (Ages 3-7)

"Tired of eating lemons from the tree on her island, a monkey longs for fruit from nearby banana island. But how will she cross the Sillabobble Sea, which is filled with crocodiles hoping to have her for lunch? This energetic tropical romp will have children counting along as the clever monkey gets the best of her foes." -Booklist (Ages 3-6)
