To a Monkey....
Whereby This Tale Is Hung

This book is dedicated to a monkey, a whimsical little fellow whose body is a sock and whose heart is hiddensomewhere in cotton stuffing. During the summer and early fall of 1955 several of our friends and readers ofPack-O-Fun magazine wrote to us about him.
