Loved this for late reader/early first chapter readers! I could watch Baby Monkey read books and redecorate his office all day.

Brian Selznick continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in children's books. His artwork, structuring, storytelling, and creativity are among my favorites.

This deceptively clever little collection of mystery stories was enjoyed equally by my kindergartner and 2nd grader. Having an adorable monkey as a protagonist doesn't hurt. We'll be going back to reexamine the illustrations in this one.

Prachtige tekeningen met originele omgevingen en paaseitjes voor slimmeriken.
Het voelde wel een klein beetje eentonig soms, maar ik ben geen kind dus dat kan ook daar aan liggen.

While it is possible to appreciate the adorable drawings and for young readers to enjoy the repetitive structure, this book's events completely lack causality. As an introduction to the detective or mystery genre, it fails to show the hero actually solving any mysteries.

I loved this sweet little book about Baby Monkey. He’s a private eye and he has a long string of cases. The clues are foot prints that lead to the culprit. It’s a fun guess who.
The illustrations of Baby Monkey’s office are filled with relevant historical artifacts for each case. There are keys in the back that explain each detail. My little one was particularly enthralled with the case of the missing nose (circus theme - She loves P.T. Barnum right now).
Great drawings and great cases.

I enjoyed Baby Monkey, Private Eye so much. I think it’s technically a picture book, but it looks like a chapter book. It was delightfully cute and I always enjoy picture book mysteries. Kids will enjoy it!
