César Barceló.
Monkey starts a food delivery service, BananaNow, to profit off his screen-obsessed jungle friends. BananaNow is a success, but Monkey is exhausted after working so much, and when Lion orders “five servings of monkey with rice,” he decides he’s had enough. Humorous illustrations showing the animals gaming, taking selfies, and lazing in the river with their tablets enhance this tale.
