Marianne is excited to eat the mangoes from her family’s tree, but when she and her cousin Zoe check it out, they discover the lower branches have been picked clean. Suspecting a “mango monster” might be the thief, the girls set traps to catch it in the act. Their imaginative and adventurous efforts lead to surprising results. The Mango Monster (Owlkids $21.95) for ages 4-7, illustrated by Meneka Repka, showcases Marianne’s problem-solving skills through colourful artwork.
