It’s the day of the big rocket launch, but the professor can’t decide who should fly the rocket: Patrick the monkey or Q-bert the robot. So he devises a series of clever tests to determine who’s the smartest. In the building-block competition, Q-bert builds a pyramid while Patrick attempts to eat the blocks. And so it goes, test after test. Naturally, Q-bert wins hands down, but Patrick, certain he’s the best monkey for the job, makes a last-ditch, all-out effort to reach the launch pad before Q-bert blasts off. . . Quirky humor, visual puns, and bold illustrations are designed especially to appeal to young boys.
