<p> Banks does a fine job of combining facts with story in this easy reader, while Bogacki's illustrations, with their soft colors and blurry lines, convey gentle feelings even amidst the discord. Readers who met Max and Pete in Monkeys and Dog Days will enjoy seeing the monkey family (complete with dog!) again as they ponder the universe. -- Horn Book<br><br> Clearly written, the story supports classroom units on astronomy without packing the pages with facts . . . . This will please preschoolers as well as beginning readers. -- Booklist<br><br> Banks excels at using a controlled vocabulary to tell her story in language accessible to new readers, without ever sounding stilted or restricted, and Bogacki's illustrations, rendered in bright watercolors and soft, visual texture, provide pictorial cues for readers while also contributing to the storytelling. -- Kirkus Reviews<br><br> Beginning chapter-book readers will enjoy this sweet tale of brotherly love. -- School Library Journal
