Monkey Business!I cant Bear it

Jessica and Elizabeth must work at a zoo as volunteers and learn about the animals.Elizabeth is run silly by a mischevious monkey who takes offense to her strong beliefs that monkeys are stupid and only know how to pick nits off each other. Jessica,meanwhile,becomes extremely attached to a bearcub whom thinks of her as a mother.This has that classic We-must-take-him-back-to-his-environment-and-sadly-watch-him-go-away scene,at the end.By the way the title I gave this article is stupid because I LIKE the book.
