"Porter's characters from The Thunderbolt Express (2013) return in this tale of monkey mystery and malfeasance. The current tale parallels the previous in that this too includes a crocodile-infested river (well, a jazz band of crocodiles). Back too are Porter's big-eyed monkeys in their spiffy suits and disguises featured in brightly colored, full-bleed illustrations painted on pine. A fine first caper for budding fans of mystery, monkeys, or magic." --Kirkus Reviews.
