Ken, Jill, and their pet monkey Zig continue their adventures with a mountain hike. As usual, Zig’s misbehavior creates mayhem when he’s scared trying to make friends with a group of smelly skunks and then scares a flock of colorful ducks. Zig redeems himself when again he saves Jill from a big bug. The exceptionally well-illustrated facial expressions of these fanciful characters and the wildlife on the pages provide excellent context clues as early readers master their new reading skills.
