K-Gr 2 Best friends Monkey and Elephant embark on their final adventure. Together they volunteer to watch cousin MeeMee's three children so she can pick up her Yum-Yum Baking Contest prize. Babysitting isn't as easy as it seems, so they decide to come up with several rules along the way. Monkey and Elephant make one last rule for themselves and promise to stay adventure friends and of course best friends forever. The colorful digitally created images enhance the story and help guide readers through the tale. VERDICT Fans of the earlier titles will delight in Monkey and Elephant's last escapade.

Join best friends Monkey and Elephant on their fifth and final adventure, in which they attempt to do something they’ve never done before: babysit!

When Monkey’s cousin MeeMee tells Monkey and Elephant she needs someone to watch her three babies for an afternoon, the two friends volunteer. But Monkey and Elephant don’t quite know what to expect. Will babysitting be hard? Will they need some rules? Will they be any good at it? And when some old baddies show up, will the two babysitters know what to do? Beginning readers will recognize the conflicting feelings that come with trying new things even as they delight in the antics of this unlikely pair of friends.
