Double Tap to Zoom. Deep in the rain forests of the Amazon jungle, a village of very lazy people wishes to do nothing but lie in their hammocks and think great thoughts. One day, a mysterious man arrives who is able to create monkeys that do absolutely everything for them. Soon, the monkeys multiply and take on every human activity--including complaining. This humorous Colombian fable perfectly evokes the spirit, rhythms, and imagery of South America. Ages 5 and up
