Illustrated by
Edward Eaves.
Boldly colored, baby-friendly paintings elevate this story of a young monkey who so adores his rainbow-hued sweater he won't allow his mother to wash it, even when it gets "stinky and grubby and grimy." When his mother tries to take the sweater, Mo's friends join in their good-natured tug of war. The humorous, uncomplicated ending makes everyone happy.
