At least, that’s what Maggie says. Of course, no one else can see them, but that doesn’t stop Mom and Dad from playing along, even going out of their way to accommodate the invisible visitors. An extra bowl of pudding at the table? A DO NOT DISTURB sign on the fridge? What’s a rustrated, reality obsessed brother to do? Readers will hoot with laughter at this warm, witty, wildly imaginative story of sibling love and loyalty.\"A family of pink polar monkeys has moved into the refrigerator, and Maggie’s older brother cannot fathom why the entire family is catering to the imagination of his still–thumb-sucking younger sister. . . . In her children’s debut, Sanders-Wells wonderfully encapsulates the difficulties of being a middle child—simultaneously too old and too young. Carter’s masterful facial expressions reflects this inner battle. Her gouache artwork is done in a bright, tropical palette that emphasizes the imaginative theme. While pink polar monkeys may not exist, what is very real is the love and loyalty of a big brother. A humorous tale sure to make siblings smile, even as they inwardly groan.\" —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eLinda Sanders-Wells\u003c\/b\u003e, a freelance writer, says of her first book, “To me \u003ci\u003eMaggie's Monkeys\u003c\/i\u003e is about two very powerful forces: love and imagination.
