There Were Monkeys in My Kitchen (Pb) by Sheree Fitch

Willa Wellowby's house has been overrun by monkeys. They're ballet dancing, playing the bagpipes, listening to the Beatles, and causing mayhem and destruction all over the house and yard. And the more Willa asks them to leave, the more havoc they wreak. She calls the police, the RCMP, the FBI, and Scotland Yard to get rid of these monkeys...but when the Mounties finally show up, it's Willa who's in trouble!

First published in 1992, There Were Monkeys in My Kitchen won the Canadian Children's Book Centre Mr. Christie Award for Best Canadian Children's book, ages 8 and under. This new softcover edition will introduce the bestselling book to a whole new generation.

Toes in My Nose (1987) and Sleeping Dragons All About (1989), Sheree Fitch's first two books, established her career as a poet, rhymster, and a kind of Canadian female Dr. Seuss. Since then, Fitch has won nearly every major award for Canadian children's literature, including the Vicky Metcalf Award for a Body of Work Inspiring to Canadian Children in 2000. She is the author of over twenty-five books, including Kiss the Joy As It Flies (2008), a bestseller and critically acclaimed adult novel. The East Coast of Canada is Fitch's home base.
