Praise for Baby Monkey, Private Eye

*“A delightful easy reader that is as funny as it is elegant.” – School Library Journal, starred review

*“A nearly 200-page chapter book for emerging readers? Using a pared-down vocabulary and luxuriant, chiaroscuro drawings, Selznick…and husband Serlin make it work—brilliantly.” – Publishers Weekly, starred review

*An inventive format and tongue-in-cheek sense of humor make this sweet and silly book nearly irresistible.” —Booklist, starred review
