Reviews
The Horn Book Guide
“Young monkey Milo is called upon to return his grandmother’s umbrella. Unfortunately, he meets one roadblock after another (pirates, space aliens, dinosaurs, etc.), delaying his journey. Fortunately, these encounters are extremely entertaining. Vibrant watercolor illustrations reflect Milo’s wild adventure from home to Granny’s. The fortunately/unfortunately patterned text makes this a great read-aloud.” —The Horn Book Guide
Library Media Connection
“This book is perfect for a young children’s storytime. Recommended.” —Library Media Connection
Kirkus Reviews
“A fresh and welcome alternative to a perennial crowd pleaser that has become a period piece.” —Kirkus Reviews
School Library Journal
“Such a convoluted chain of events could easily be weighed down by visually cluttered illustrations, but Foreman employs a light touch with his bright watercolors, and the eye follows exactly where it needs to go.” —School Library Journal
Publishers Weekly
“The repeated use of the two title words . . . creates a seesaw effect that encourages chiming in, and the jaunty art adds laughs.” —Publishers Weekly
