Purchase options and add-ons

A trio of misbehaving, mango-loving monkeys have a close call as the creator of Don’t Worry, Little Crab gives readers a taste of vicarious mischief.

Three little monkeys and their big monkey are sitting high on a branch in the forest canopy. “OK, monkeys! I’m off,"says the big monkey. “Remember . . . Whatever you do, do NOT go down to the mango tree. There are tigers down there.” Mmm . . . mangoes! think the little monkeys. They LOVE mangoes. Hmm . . . Maybe . . . maybe they could just look at the mangoes. That would be OK, right? With vivid colors, bold shapes, and his trademark visual humor, Chris Haughton is back with a deliciously suspenseful cautionary tale about pushing boundaries—and indulging your more impish side (when nobody is looking).

Editorial Reviews

Review

Perfect for group sharing. . . . Haughton’s skilled use of color, composition, and page-turns heightens the drama.
—The Horn Book (starred review)

The book’s suspense is built with careful pacing and the repetition of particular words. . . An impish adventure.
—Kirkus Reviews

This funny folkloric tale will cue audiences immediately. . . There’s electrical contrast in the collage-style digital art, with the blue monkeys popping against red, magenta, and orange backdrops that will easily make images visible at a distance in a lively storytime.
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Haughton's artwork is even more bold here than in past titles. . . . Worth a purchase wherever Haughton's books are popular.
—School Library Journal

A fun story of seeing the line, then daring to cross it. . . . equal parts whimsy and cautionary, kids will gravitate towards these little monkeys and their daring adventures. With bright colors and bold shapes, kids and adults alike will thoroughly enjoy this title.
—School Library Connection

Small children ages 2-6 will see the menace that the monkeys do not, which ratchets up the tension as the reckless primates commence to feasting on sweet juicy mangoes. . . enough to teach even the naughtiest tykes a lesson. Well, maybe . . .
—The Wall Street Journal

[H]ilarious… The droll illustrations in brilliant colors depict the wide-eyed monkeys talking each other into going for the mangoes and just barely escaping the cartoonish tigers' big teeth. Small children in the target audience will appreciate the perfect (and very funny) ending.


—The Buffalo News

My grandson is three and I’ve purchased all of Chris Haughton’s books for him and we have a grand time reading them together. “Maybe” is our favorite one! The pictures a very stylized so I thought he might not like them but he loves them.

I love the humor in this story of 3 monkeys who are second-guessing their parent's instructions. It makes me laugh every time I read it, and the illustrations really add that extra punch. This book is now on my shelf of favorites.

A great book about curiosity and safety and listening to warnings. With young children you can ask if they see anything (Tigers) in the picture. They all love this book. I bough it because of Medan Gordon's review in the Wall Street Journal.

When three monkeys give in to temptation, they discover it doesn’t come without consequences. This story is adorable, rhythmic, and funny. I absolutely love the illustrations. Not only because they’re different and colorful, but they have their own unique style.

We love Chris Haughtin books and this one didn't disappoint. The little monkeys are adventurous and don't realize the danger. Looks familiar when you have a 3yo. :)
Good book to explain the risks and why there are limits.

il solito stile di Chris Haughton in una nuova avventura che non vedevamo l'ora di sfogliare ed imparare a memoria! Bellissima anche l'edizione "taglia 45 giri", anche se per completare la nostra collezione avremmo dovuto aspettare che uscisse l'edizione cartonata... ma non potevamo aspettare tanto! Storia semplicissima, breve e ripetitiva, che coinvolge i più piccoli e diverte ancora i più grandi: è piaciuto anche a mia figlia di 6 anni, per la quale avevamo iniziato la collezione quando di anni ne aveva 2. Lo raccomando al 100%
