  | Full Text Reviews: School Library Journal - 08/01/2014 PreS-KâA young monkey goes through his day declaring he is the best at everything, from brushing his teeth to feeding the cat. His older brother and sister follow along, pointing out his mistakes. Finally, after trying to play basketball but not making any baskets, he realizes that he is not the best. His siblings cheer him up with the idea that he is the best at trying. The message may be helpful for toddlers who are feeling too small to do anything right. The illustrations are clear and bright, but the big-headed characters are only identifiable as monkeys by their tails. Otherwise, they look, act, and dress like most children. The simple text and relatable story will make for a pleasant read but won't likely lead to many repeated readings.âLaura Stanfield, Campbell County Public Library, Ft.
