Summer of the Monkeys is the second of only two books by author Wilson Rawls I d always heard it was good, and I thoroughly enjoyed Where the Red Fern Grows , so it seemed like a good choice to pull from my to be read shelf Summer of the Monkeys was better than good, it was absolutely wonderful And this comment comes from me, a person not interested in animal stories No question, one of the best books I ve read this summer This is a story of a young boy, Jay Berry, growing up many decades ago in [...]

Disney ruined this book when they made it into a movie The novel is vastly different and so much better A great read aloud that will have you both laughing and crying I like this book much better than, Where the Red Fern Grows, which the author is known for.

Now when we read both Wilson Rawls Where the Red Fern Grows and Summer of the Monkeys in grade six, while most of my classmates seemed to prefer the former, I for one enjoyed Summer of the Monkeys rather , mostly because it had a less heartbreaking ending with Jay capturing the elusive circus escaped monkeys, his twin sister Daisy getting her necessary operation, and Jay also obtaining his two dearest wishes, a pony and a rifle, not to mention that Jay s relationship with his grandfather moved a [...]

Oooh I have mixed feelings about this story It s been sitting on my shelf for years, when it was first recommended to me as a perfect family read aloud So, I finally read it In short, it s a jolly tale of rompin , rollickin hilarity with just enough negative thrown in to keep it from being the perfect family read aloud The essentials Meet Jay Berry It s the late 1800s, and his family is farming on Oklahoma land, poor enough to make a fly weep They re always struggling to make one end meet the ot [...]

Overflowing with folksy sentimentality, this is my all time favorite boy and his dog story The dog doesn t die, and the story has a completely happy ending Things even come out well for the monkeys Warm loving family interactions and chock full of mild, wholesome adventures, yet it s not boring Rawls also wrote the famous and famously tragic Where the Red Fern Grows, which was originally published in 1961 but whose sales did not take off until the early 70 s I ve never understood why that book [...]

My kids really enjoy this book It seems to hit all ages pretty well I am enjoying it again, and my youngest two who were bored while reading Seventh Son are now really enjoying this book Even my oldest kids enjoy listening in.Wilson Rawls is a great story teller, and he writes a lot of situations in this book that make the kids laugh out loud The suspense is great too The kids hate it when a chapter ends and we might be done for the night read on they all say.

what an amazing and influential book this fun and humorous novel will bring tears to your eyes and show how you can be happy with what you have in most stories of a young boy turning into a young man we see a love interest but for this hearty jay berry hid love is passion for his family and daisy his sister sure it isn t very realistic that these monkeys would get him drunk and steal his stuff but the idea of these monkeys being capable to do such things gives the book a humerus thrill that all [...]

ANOTHER READINGI think that I will always love Summer of the Monkeys than you whoever you are because it was the first book that taught me that literature can be moving enough to make me cry next book to confirm that The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn I read it in sixth grade where the timing, emotion, and of course story of it all were magical and conspired to delight me before catching me off guard with its heart.So I knew I would read it with my kids, not for them but for me, and I wondered [...]
