About This Book

A boastful monkey arrives among field and forest animals and persuades them to form an army under his command, drawing in an officious crow and skeptical neighbors. His grand designs lead to comic misunderstandings, disputes, a secret ailment and a string of small campaigns and schemes, including an elaborate plan to spend the winter in the South. The narrative follows their skirmishes, retreats, captures and reconciliations, and concludes with confessions, a journey and quiet lessons about pride, leadership, friendship and the consequences of bluster.
