"Minnie's Pet Monkey" by Madeline Leslie is a story that tells of a young girl named Minnie and her funny pet monkey, Jacko. The story shows how innocent kids are, how curious they can be, and how playful animals act. You follow Minnie as she hangs out with Jacko, and the story tells about his funny behavior. From when he arrives on a boat to how he acts at Minnie's house, Jacko always gets into trouble, making really funny messes in the kitchen or making Minnie's family laugh and worry. Their fun times together show how close a kid and her pet can be, teaching about being responsible for a pet, and the surprising problems that happen because monkeys are wild and unpredictable.
