Suddenly bananas are Alfie's favorite food, and his arms feel strong and springy--like he could climb any tree in the whole wide world ... Before long, Alfie finds that his kitchen has transformed into a lush tropical jungle filled with some unexpected new friends--monkeys!

For instance, nobody picks coconuts from the tops of the twirly-whirly trees faster than a monkey. Nobody paints a house faster either.
