Tommy is a kid just like may others, too many toys and animals and they are strewn all over his room. Tommy tells his mom that his two friends who were over yesterday made the mess, and they did not clean up before going home. Tommy's mom was not pleased with that remark. She told Tommy to go to his room and clean it before they ate. Tommy went into his room, feeling sorry for himself. He decided to look for his monkey in the mess. He found the monkey than all of a sudden they were in a new place.The author, Yuval Harpaz,  has written a book with an insightful story. Most children, and all their parents will be able to identify with Tommy's mother, and the mess that toys can create. When Tommy and his monkey fall into a new place, their adventure begins. This is a wonderful story where Tommy meets old friends. The illustrator was not named, however, the pictures are bright and bold and depict the story of Tommy's adventures. There are many lessons to be learned in this story. All of them have a reasonable answer and ending. All children will be interested to know how this story moves on.  Note: I was given this book to read and review.Recommended. prisrob 02-11-14
