Another amazing, whimsical, delightful, detailed filled Monkey with a Toolbelt adventure. I love how I love different things about each one of these books -- the phlegmatic introduction of Chico Bon Bon in book 1, the hilarious sound effects of book 2, the crazed muffin expressions of book 4 -- awesome. This book is no exception -- I had such a great time examining all the small and possibly significant details of the school day, not to mention the hilarious library book titles. The only thing I could not figure out is why the squirrels don't just get absorbed into the school? Why do they need their own squirrel school in the treetops, when the creature diversity of the school is clearly so great? A question for the ages, or possibly merely a question of classroom management. ( )

This is a cute mystery for children. Chico Bon Bon and his friends are going to school. Of course he wears his trusty tool belt full of tools for any number of emergencies and jobs. He is able to help his friend Clark by repairing his back pack and chair as well as things around the school. After a visit to the library revealed missing books, Chico and his friends began to notice many things missing around the school, including the tacos for lunch. Chico takes on the mystery. Using his magnifying glass to find clues, he found clues around the school. Can Chico solve the mystery? A very cute story about the process of investigating as well as helping others. The illustrations are wonderful. They are colourful, detailed and fun. I would recommend this book to all public, school and family libraries. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )
