"The wonderful alliteration and playful language of this "monkey business" story is perfectly suited to the fabulously expressive illustrations." (Sheilah Egan - www.childrenslit.com)
"My kids loved this book, as did I. Chapman's quirky illustrations match the silly mood of this story as the hapless gorilla stumbles through one cure after another, never curing his itch, but always making more of a mess of himself."
Dawn Mena - Book Buds
