Why should a large animal get away with bullying a smaller one? That's what happens when Elephant takes Hippo's spot in the pond, which causes Hippo to pick on Lion, Lion to pick on Leopard, and Leopard to pick on Monkey. Vincent Nguyen's illustrations, a mix of watercolor, charcoal pencil, and digital techniques, enrich the story as Monkey asks his mother for advice, and she comes up with just the right solution to solve the problem.
