He escaped from prison and there is a map to escape, and I like maps.

I like this book because I can read it myself. I like it when the guards catch the gorilla at the end because they saw his footprints. I like the guards the best.

It was funny, I liked when he tried to make a key out of a fork and when he stood in the can of paint.

It’s about a mischievous ape who tries to make an escape from the prison. I love the police because they followed the footprints to catch the ape.
