Clyde turns into a monkey whenever he comes very excited. His sister Claudia has quite a time trying to keep him calm, especially on school picture day! His unusual ability rescues pets from pet nappers and an extra bonus, the bulldog Chopper, his worse enemy, becomes friends with him.
The format/layout is great-when Clyde is a boy the story is told in regular paragraph format, in first person. When he is Clyde the monkey, the story is told in comic strips. The chapters alternate between the formats.
Comprehension questions at the end.
