Deep in the rain forests of the Amazon jungle, a village of very lazy people wishes to do nothing but lie in their hammocks and think great thoughts. One day, a mysterious man arrives who is able to create monkeys that do absolutely everything for them. Soon, the monkeys multiply and take on every human activity—including complaining.
This humorous Colombian fable perfectly evokes the spirit, rhythms, and imagery of South America. Illustrated by Diana Bryan. Ages 5 and up.
