Dr. Mary's Monkey: How the Unsolved Murder of a Doctor, a Secret Laboratory in New Orleans and Cancer-Causing ... 24 reviews
Edward T. Haslam
Trine Day, 2007
New Orleans in the summer of 1963, behind the scenes of the JFK assassination, this book is one-of-a-kind
If you don't want to be challenged, or you want to believe the Warren Commission Report that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and unaided in the assassination of JFK, or that New Orleans and the events taking place there played no part in the assassination, don't bother to read Dr Mary's Monkey, for it will disrupt your complacency and demolish your assumptions.
This book is a serious attempt ...

Monkey Business: Swinging Through the Wall Street Jungle 290 reviews
John Rolfe, Peter Troob
Business Plus, 2001
Very funny and needs to be read with a certain perspective
This is a funny book no doubt. Its not written by writers and thus there is no rules of writing that have been followed which makes it funny.
Even though some have said the life style is exaggerated (and maybe it is) but unless you are an I banker or part of the fraternity in some way, there is no way to denounce what has been written about the profession.
I really think that while being a ...

Monkey: Folk Novel of China24 reviews
Wu Ch'eng-en
Grove Press, 1994
For All Ages
If you're a Harry Potter fan, you'll love the magic.
If you're a college student, you'll love the high-spirited freedom and roaming.
If you remember the '60s, this book will remind you of a really good double-barrel Orange Sunshine trip, without any of the negatives.

Monkey Madness
This really is an excellent book for kids. I bought it for my 2 year old and she loves to look at this book. Sometimes she tries to imitate the facial expressions of the monkeys and amazingly she is memorizing the different names of the monkeys.

my daughter loves it!
My 8 yr old daughter (a very good reader) loves this book!! She first read Where the Red Fern Grows and loved that. She was inspired to read this one and loves it even more! She may be a good reader, but she is picky. She looks forward to reading this one. She says that Wilson Rawls makes her feel like she is really there.

Night Monkey Day Monkey (Book & CD)6 reviews
Julia Donaldson
Egmont UK, 2008
A great story about different views of the world
Our 4 year old daughter loves this story of 2 monkeys each experiencing the other's world - the day monkey wakes the night monkey during the day and explains away the night monkey's fear of the unusual things he normally wouldn't see during the day as he's usually asleep, and vice versa. The rhyming text is entertaining and lovely to read and the hard board material should endure plenty of wear ...

The One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey32 reviews

William Morrow & Company, 1991
Understanding Monkey's Makes better Ministers!
The staff of a large Church studied the One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey. They found in unbelievable funny. Indentifying the next move in identifying monkeys from each other and members made the work more fun. Just understanding the next move as a monkey became funny instead of accepting chores or somebody else' MONKEY. At my final luncheon each one gleefully receive a key chain of a ...

Monkey See, Monkey Do (level 1) (Hello Reader) 5 reviews
Marc Gave
Cartwheel, 1993
fun to read book
This is the one book my daugther(2) wants me to read to her every night. She loves silly books and this book has silly monkeys and is written rhythmically. Good to read to little ones because it has few words and you can read them out loud before they turns the page!

The Cheese Monkeys: A Novel In Two Semesters (P.S.)81 reviews
Chip Kidd
Harper Perennial, 2008
Definitely Off-the-Wall and FUN read!
I picked up this book based on the title and cover art alone. Just happened to be looking for something different, and BOY, did this book deliver. I found myself reliving my own college days and (some) exploits through the main character--and discovered that the main character and I must have attended the exact same college nearly 30 years apart.
Thought that the font change was a very ...

Glen Williamson performs two of these stories as a play
Glen Williamson (Google him) has been performing two of these stories for years as a one-man play: "Who Am I This Time?" and "The Kid Nobody Could Handle."
"Cheers and congratulations again! Your performance Tuesday evening was truly extraordinary. I feel so fortunate to have been there. I called Kurt [Vonnegut] the next morning and raved about you - then wrote him a note and raved some ...

first Robert Crais novel
This is my first Crais novel and was told in a newspaper review of his latest Elvis Cole book to go back and start with the first Cole adventure. I am so glad I did. It was a great introduction! I will now read every one of them.

Cute and soft little book
I bought this book because it's made of Bamboo and it's eco-friendly! The book is washable and my baby seem to enjoy it. She just started to grab things by herself and puts everything in her mouth...and she can do that with this book. I just wish that there were more pages.

Eight Silly Monkeys12 reviews
Piggy Toes Press, 2007
A Toddler Must-Have!
My daughter loves loves loves this adorable book! And as a nice added bonus, because doctor is mentioned repeatedly in the book, she no longer is afraid of the doctor! Apparently she thinks of the silly monkeys every time we go to the doctor now, and instead of hiding, she now talks to the doctor about all the silly monkeys! This is a fun book to read, we truly enjoy it and my husband and I ...

Thanking the Monkey: Rethinking the Way We Treat Animals15 reviews
Karen Dawn
Harper Paperbacks, 2008
Packed Full of Info
"Thanking the Monkey" is packed full of info about various animal issues (animals used as food, in research, for entertainment, for clothing). Dawn peppers humor and animal-themed comics throughout and lets readers come to their own conclusions about how they choose to view animals.

Monkey: A Journey to the West 10 reviews
David Kherdian
Shambhala, 2005
Introduction to Buddhist/Taoist Folk Tales
I have never read the whole series of books so I cannot comment on these. I was, however, reasonably impressed with this shortened version. It at least got some of the flavor of the tale of Monkey (read "monkey brain"), who is always impetuous, hot-tempered and greedy, but also perseveres in his spiritual journey with several other characters, including a T'ang monk, a dragon, a water monster, ...

Bad Monkeys: A Novel (P.S.)52 reviews
Matt Ruff
Harper Perennial, 2008
Solid Read
While I generally read novels very slowly it took me to time at all to finish "Bad Monkeys". The slow revelation style of narrative sunk its teeth in and would not let go. I came to Amazon to grab Ruff's other books.
Highly recommend.
