Monkey with a Tool Belt

Inspiration for the Netflix series Chico Bon Bon

Whether you need a beebersaw or a chisel, Chico Bon Bon's your monkey. He can build or fix just about anything--from a dock for the ducks to a clock for the Clucks, even a small roller coaster for local chipmunks. But will his tools and his sharp wit save him when an organ grinder sets his sights on making Chico a circus star? Chris Monroe's quirky hero and detailed illustrations will absorb readers in an entertaining adventure that shows there is an inventive way out of every problem--if you have the right tools.
