Review

"[T]he cover establishes the opening scene. Then the wild-eyed monkey dashes across the inside cover and following pages, making a break for his banana. This early burst of momentum complements the book's madcap style; the plot seems shot out of a cannon."

"In a tour de force of visual sequencing captioned only by a set of rhyming street and shop signs, Small sets up a hilarious chain of events along a busy city street."

"This cleverly crafted picture book...is a mesmerizing mosaic of effervescent disaster, and David Small has managed to treat it as visual nonsense, ensuring that the absurdity operates within an understandable if upendable structure (a helpful map tracing the route of the ripples of a disaster appears on the closing endpaper.)"

Publisher's note

Everyday signs serve as captions for this pictorial tale of what happens after a man tosses a banana peel into the garbage can and misses.

Annotation

When a monkey casually tosses a banana peel on the street, the ensuing ruckus will have little children rocking with laughter. Wordless except for wry, rhyming street signs, this humorous picture book follows the mayhem one instance of littering can wreak. With David Small's excellent illustrations. A Kirkus Best Children's Book of 2006.
