This book offers enough allusions to King Kong to keep the grownups going while still providing bedtime friendly laughs. The Ape in question is working his way to the top again but this time he's selling "Ape-On" cosmetics. You will need to really appreciate puns or this book might just drive you...bananas. Great intro to NYC for suburban kids and a taste of Gotham for the city kids. Rollicking plot and wonderful illustrations. My three and six year old loved it.
