This preschool-appropriate easy reader follows a troupe of mischievous monkeys as they go on all sorts of adventures in the jungle and in an East Indian town's market. Soft, colorful illustrations and large type are apt for the audience, while simple text and a rhyming pattern make this beginner book a pleasurable read-aloud.

"He turns the fields into ribbons of Gold, / sparkling with frost as the autumn grows cold." This alphabet book celebrates the evidence of God's creations through signs and symbols of autumn. The singsongy rhyming text and bright gold, orange, and brown illustrations give a more subtle religious underpinning than many Christian-themed picture books.

A young fox uses his wits to stop both a hunter and the fox clan leader using his venerable age to demand obedience to his--questionable--wisdom. The story is an adaptation of a kyogen (traditional Japanese humorous play), and the telling is stilted. Amusing mixed-media paintings show a round, not-very-threatening-looking hunter and humorously expressive fox faces. An author's note is included.
