Ain't polite to point out what a person's got missing, Jimmy Harbert thinks, in his unmistakable east Texas twang. Joy Bolores Monroe had just referred to Jasper's tongue, which is indeed missing; the chauffeur tells all with hand signs. Not all, actually, for there are many mysteries behind the grandiose exterior of Grandmother Monroe's mansion, to which Jimmy and his younger sister, Mary Al, have been cajoled to baby-sit a capuchin monkey that keeps...
This book is really good. It is sorta boring at the beginning, but its good at the end. My favorite part is when they took the monkey to the zoo, and got chased. I think you should read this book because its about a monkey that has a big effect on a girl. I would recommend this book to you.

I think this book is good because it has a lot of action. My favorite part was when they got chased in the zoo. I think you should check this book out because its grabs your mind. We read this book in our Principal's Book talk, so it has to be good. At the very beginning its not as good as you think it would be, but at the end it gets better.

A monkey, an island, a secret treehouse, and a cast of characters to fall in love with -- who could ask for more? This was a wonderful book that I won't forget! I am recommending it to all my friends. I'm also going to pick it as a monthly selection for my kids reading club. I loved this book!

This book was a page-turner from the start. Nelson's style and point of view as seen through the eyews of a young boy is humorous and thoroughly entertaining. All the elements that intrigue throughout childhood are present. A great read-aloud book with a compassionate and realistic ending. I laughed out loud ALOT and was moved to tears at the plight of J.D. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
