Synopsis

So why does the zebra have stripes? A long time ago, at the dawn of the world, a mischievous monkey admires the brightly-colored birds around him and wonders why the rest of the animals look so drab in comparison. So when he was sure everybody was sleeping, With paintbox and brushes the monkey came creeping. This can-do monkey takes matters into his own hands, gleefully applying colorful flourishes of stripes, spots, and squares to the napping animals. But when a certain humorless bear awakens, the monkeys brilliant solution comes to haunt him in the end literally! In lilting, rhymed text paired with jewel-toned illustrations, this playful story is bound to capture every childs imagination and momentarily satisfy a few of her whys.
