Bookroo's summary

Three mischievous monkeys are warned not to venture to the mango tree, where tigers lurk. Tempted by their love for mangoes, they can't resist the forbidden fruit. Will their curiosity lead to trouble, or can they outsmart the lurking danger? This vibrant tale of temptation and adventure explores the thrill of pushing boundaries when no one is watching.

From the publisher

A trio of misbehaving, mango-loving monkeys have a close call as the creator of Don’t Worry, Little Crab gives readers a taste of vicarious mischief. Three little monkeys and their big monkey are sitting high on a branch in the forest canopy. “OK, monkeys! I’m off,” says the big monkey. “Remember . . . Whatever you do, do NOT go down to the mango tree. There are tigers down there.” Mmm . . . mangoes! think the little monkeys. They LOVE mangoes. Hmm . . . Maybe . . . maybe they could just look at the mangoes. That would be OK, right? With vivid colors, bold shapes, and his trademark visual humor, Chris Haughton is back with a deliciously suspenseful cautionary tale about pushing boundaries–and indulging your more impish side (when nobody is looking).
