Monkey see- -monkey do

This book describes the antics of a pet monkey named Mo who is invited for lunch on a fancy ocean liner. The monkey is admonished in the invitation to act like a gentlemen. He tries to, but unfortunately, the gentleman he decides to imitate is not a very well-behaved man, since he makes a habit of walking on railings and such. As a result of his poor choice of role model, Mo gets a tongue lashing, but then his hero falls overboard, Mo saves him, and is declared a real gentleman. Despite the tension of misbehavior, scolding, and a fall into the ocean, many kids love the humor of Mo's antics, and of course, there is a happy ending. The book contains about 300 words.
