Chosen for the New York Times / New York Public Library 10 Best Illustrated Children’s Book 2019
Daddy Monkey and little Monkey are on the road.
But it is so busy, and so slow!
Little Monkey has no patience.
He escapes from his safe seat and swings from the firemen’s ladder to the crane, jumps over the street sweeper, straight through the taxi.
The street is like a playground!
The ultimate car book by Leo Timmers, packed with funny vehicles and surprising monkey antics.

‘The award-winning Illustrator didn’t just make the magnificent illustrations but also wrote the charming rhymes.’ – Süddeutsche Zeitung
‘The judges were drawn to this book because the illustrations are both exciting and contemplative.’ – New York Times/ New York Public Library jury
