Most monkeys like bananas, but only Monkichi can eat ten bananas in one minute! Our perky primate celebrates his birthday on January 13th. He lives high in the mountains with all his friends, including his best friend, Monta. Monta is quite a bit smaller than Monkichi and can outrun any monkey around. This helps because Monta loves to play tricks on all of his monkey friends, except Monkichi. Monkichi loves keeping his friends entertained with stories, jokes and poems. His dream is to one day be a poet or maybe a professional comedian.
