About the Author

"Monkey Business" is Shirley Climo's twenty-third book for children. This collection combines her love of storytelling with her fascination for finding the facts that hide behind the fiction. Her previous books include several story collections, such as "Magic and Mischief: Tales from Cornwall," illustrated by Anthony Bacon Venti, and "A Treasury of Princesses: Princess Tales from Around the World," illustrated by Ruth Sanderson. Ms. Climo lives with her husband in California.
Erik Brooks is the author and illustrator of "The Practically Perfect Pajamas" and "Octavius Bloom and the House of Doom." He had fun doing research for this book, especially visiting the snow monkeys at the Minnesota Zoo. Mr. Brooks lives in north-central Washington State.
