—School Library Journal"This book takes readers through a day in the rainforest by following a young spider monkey. From the top of the canopy to the dense growth underneath, every page is filled with colorful creatures and foliage, all of which are easily spotted against the lighter hued backgrounds. Birds and mammals are the most prevalent, but there are also a few examples of amphibians, insects, reptiles, and fish. Many of these creatures are labelled on the endpapers, giving interested children a chance to find and identify them. Bailey's illustration style is in line with the publisher's aesthetic. Her lovely digital work is full of stylized, shape-based creations, lots of contrast, and splatters and strokes that add texture. VERDICT The friendly animal designs, minimal story, and very basic information make this a good one for all those young explorers and scientists out there.—Rachel Forbes, Oakville Public Library, Ont." —School Library Journal
