I used this book to teach the concept of idioms to my 3-5th graders. I thought it was a great way to show them this. They were more interested in finding the hidden illustration of a monkey on each page. However, the idea did seep into their brains by the end of the book.

Love the photos!

This is a great book to use for teaching Idioms!! Looking forward to using it with reading students. Great book.

With its astonishing pictures, this book is just a lot of fun to look at. Did you find the hidden monkey or ape on each page?

Ick. Rich illustrations, sure. But, no good without great writing or a good story.

Very clever. Be sure and look for a monkey on every page. Some of them are tricky. The illustrations are just fabulous, incredible and funny. I caught myself laughing out loud on several of them. I loved, "Willy seemed to attract misfortune, but Bill was a lucky duck." Now you have to look at the picture and see what made it so funny. Check it out at your local library.

Wow!

How many times do we just throw idioms into our conversations without even thinking about how it may look if we convert them to illustrations??
This is what Monkey Business is all about!
Wonderful...

A book of illustrated idioms. Reminds me of The King Who Rained.

The art in this book is gorgeous.

The details in this are so beautiful, I dare you to read this without smiling.

I just don't like this style of illustration, where it is so detailed, especially in the skin, that the animals look dirty. I'm not sure what age this book would appeal too, either. Not two year olds.
