Editorial : From School Library Journal PreS-K—A young monkey goes through his day declaring he is the best at everything, from brushing his teeth to feeding the cat. His older brother and sister follow along, pointing out his mistakes. Finally, after trying to play basketball but not making any baskets, he realizes that he is not the best. His siblings cheer him up with the idea that he is the best at trying. The message may be helpful for toddlers who are feeling too small to do anything right. The illustrations are clear and bright, but the big-headed characters are only identifiable as monkeys by their tails. Otherwise, they look, act, and dress like most children. The simple text and relatable story will make for a pleasant read but won't likely lead to many repeated readings.—Laura Stanfield, Campbell County Public Library, Ft. Thomas, KY

I now have read every book by "The King of Urban Fiction," Paul Volponi. For me this book equals Success!. Most notable is his intermix of vignettes of the life of men who have worked with glia within the body of the text. This tells you how and I can vouch for the soundness of the concept. (Exactly what kind of brotherhood does this twisted man belong to?) I also am a sucker for a good gargoyle story and therefore I couldn't resist that aspect of the story.
As if that wasn't enough, we have the sexier-than-should-be-legal Gavin who is quite confused, though taken, with the modern world he has entered. The concept is great, but the book falls short. So far I have read thru chapter 8 and feel really sorry for anyone relying on this for accurate information. Seriously? (Note: anyone who really *needs* to attempt the Kabuki dance required to remove the front bumper shell would be far better off with the Bentley Boxster shop manual or the services of a competent mechanic.).
