Review by School Library Journal Review
K-Gr 2-Seven spunky monkeys head out every day for a fun destination. As the week progresses, one by one the animated apes fall prey to cupid's arrows and leave their friends behind. Then one Sunday, after the countdown is over and "the spunky monkey count was absolutely none," the original seven friends show up, with their spouses and babies in tow, for a rollicking romp in the park. The bouncy, rhyming text is accompanied by Munsinger's lively pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations. The monkeys are appropriately attired as they grin, stomp, pout, frown, and show off. More fun than a barrel of monkeys, this book is sure to be a hit with the preschool to early primary-grade crowd.-Linda Staskus, Parma Regional Library, OH (c) Copyright 2010.

Review by Horn Book Review
On Sunday, one of seven monkeys falls in love. The group diminishes by one for each day of the week until everyone has left for love and--as showcased in a final spread--reproduced. This follow-up to One Monkey Too Many will delight readers who like lively art and peppy rhymes and aren't turned off by the idea of hot monkey hookups. (c) Copyright 2010.
