About This Book

A climbing toy monkey awakens in a pasteboard box on a breakfast table and learns it has been bought as a birthday surprise for a boy named Herbert. The story depicts toys that come to life under certain rules, shows the monkey reuniting with a Candy Rabbit, and follows a series of episodic adventures as the toy joins the children’s games. Episodes range from school and odd rides to a cave, rain, tent life, and a show, with recurring themes of belonging, play, and the hidden activity of toys when adults are absent.
