A silly, fun version of the game 'telephone'in which a grocery list committed to memory goes playfully awry.One day, Vincent's mother asks him to go to the store to pick up a few items: 'a bunch of carrots, a box of rice, some China tea, a big, firm pear, and a tin of peas' to be precise. 'And hurry home in time for tea!' she says. Sounds easy enough.Yet distractions are at every turn, causing havoc with Vincent's memory. All of a sudden, a tin of peas is replaced by a trapeze; a big, firm pear becomes a big furry bear; and a box of rice transforms into a box of mice!Needless to say, Vincent's mother is in for quite a surprise.Told with a playful rhythm for reading aloud and illustrated with exuberance and great child appeal, this humorous picture book will have kids laughing and asking for repeated readings.Praise for Chimpanzees for Tea!'British authorillustrator Jo Empson brings her wonderfully freewheeling, kinetic style to this lively readaloud that will have youngsters giggling and shouting out the correct items from the list.'Shelf Awareness'Awardwinning British author/illustrator Empson energetically illustrates her tale of ever more outrageous memory lapses with scribbly watercolors full of swooping action and bouncing wildlife that follow the swirling text across the pages. As much fun to read as it is to hear, and a real treat for the eyes.'Kirkus Reviews'With a wildly cavorting cast of characters [and] a playful text . . . this is hard to resist.' Booklist'The humorous text makes this a perfect readaloud for all ages and a great memory game to play with schoolage kids.'School Library Journal
