Monkey and Cake love building forts. Cake decides to build a fort only for Cakes, no Monkeys allowed. After much begging and pleading, Monkey devises his own genius plan for a fort — a fort only for Monkeys.

This is the second in the Monkey and Cake series brought to us by the author of The Day the Crayons Quit. Wonderfully clever and simply executed, this book will appeal to many early readers. The bold text is easy to follow, not too difficult for new readers, and the story is fun. The illustrations are simple, clear, and help convey the emotions Monkey and Cake are feeling. This book is best for Pre-K-2, and it would be a great read aloud — especially if you build a fort afterwards!
