Are You a Monkey? by Marine Rivoal - OPTIONAL

 Are You a Monkey? A Tale of Animal Charades by Marine Rivoal, PICTURE BOOK. Phaidon Press, 2017. $17. 9780714874173

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Starfish watches the jungle animals play charades. As they enjoy mimicking each other, Starfish longs to join in, but how can he play, too, when he can barely move around?

Some kids may enjoy guessing what each animal is pretending to be, although the illustrations are too vague to really narrow it down for them enough to provide much success. The adorable ending will likely leave some kids smiling.
