About the Book
"A trio of misbehaving, mango-loving monkeys have a close call."--Provided by publisher.Book Synopsis
A trio of misbehaving, mango-loving monkeys have a close call as the creator of Don't Worry, Little Crab gives readers a taste of vicarious mischief. Three little monkeys and their big monkey are sitting high on a branch in the forest canopy. "OK, monkeys! I'm off," says the big monkey. "Remember . . . Whatever you do, do NOT go down to the mango tree. There are tigers down there." Mmm . . . mangoes! think the little monkeys. They LOVE mangoes. Hmm . . . Maybe . . . maybe they could just look at the mangoes. That would be OK, right? With vivid colors, bold shapes, and his trademark visual humor, Chris Haughton is back with a deliciously suspenseful cautionary tale about pushing boundaries--and indulging your more impish side (when nobody is looking).Review Quotes
Perfect for group sharing. . . . Haughton's skilled use of color, composition, and page-turns heightens the drama.
--The Horn Book (starred review) The book's suspense is built with careful pacing and the repetition of particular words. . . An impish adventure.
--Kirkus Reviews This funny folkloric tale will cue audiences immediately. . . There's electrical contrast in the collage-style digital art, with the blue monkeys popping against red, magenta, and orange backdrops that will easily make images visible at a distance in a lively storytime.
--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Haughton's artwork is even more bold here than in past titles. . . . Worth a purchase wherever Haughton's books are popular.
--School Library Journal A fun story of seeing the line, then daring to cross it. . . . equal parts whimsy and cautionary, kids will gravitate towards these little monkeys and their daring adventures. With bright colors and bold shapes, kids and adults alike will thoroughly enjoy this title.
--School Library Connection Small children ages 2-6 will see the menace that the monkeys do not, which ratchets up the tension as the reckless primates commence to feasting on sweet juicy mangoes. . . enough to teach even the naughtiest tykes a lesson. Well, maybe . . .
--The Wall Street Journal [H]ilarious... The droll illustrations in brilliant colors depict the wide-eyed monkeys talking each other into going for the mangoes and just barely escaping the cartoonish tigers' big teeth. Small children in the target audience will appreciate the perfect (and very funny) ending. --The Buffalo News

After the little monkey’s mother warned them to stay away from the mangoes because of tigers, she needed to leave. Will the monkeys listen to their mother? After she left, the only thing the monkeys could think of was how juicy and delicious those mangoes were. Then they start finding all kinds of uses for maybe and the rules. Maybe they could just look at the mangoes, maybe they could get one mango, and maybe there weren’t any tigers. But maybe leads the little monkeys into all kinds of trouble, and they find themselves in a terrible situation. Children will enjoy the illustrations in this over-sized, picture book because if they look closely, they can find things in the bushes that the monkeys don’t see. They can have lots of fun trying to warn the monkeys what is in there. This book gives the parent a good opportunity to ask their child if the monkeys should have listened to their mother, and if the monkeys learned anything. You can also ask your child what they would do, and what you would do. “Maybe” is a fun story, but also a teaching story about what happens when trying to stretch the rules. This five-star book will be enjoyed by children aged three to seven. Little ones will love trying to warn the monkeys while stating what the monkeys should have done. Candlewick Press has provided Tickmenot with a complimentary copy of, “Maybe…..,” for the purpose of review.
