This is a cute story about the little monkeys that live in Brazil. It tells children all about their lives and why they have no place to call home. The monkeys have a very interesting life.

A tale about why the black-mouthed monkeys live in thorny trees. Although the moral of the story is "don't put off until tomorrow what you could do today," I felt there was a missed opportunity to talk about the protection from predators that the thorny trees provided.
