Very good
It’s actually a very interesting and good book for little kids. I read it to my siblings and they liked it, and wanted me to read it again. I recommend this book.

funny but lack of cliffhanger
I liked the characters especially the main chimp, chip. And it was great thought put into the chaos sequences that kept me entertained . However, even though it was implied that there was gonna be a second book, it didn’t have an ending page that said the end, or to be continued, it could have a stronger ending. That’s why we only gave it four stars.

At night, the zoo is chaos, but fortunately there's a certain chimp who keeps everything in control. Is he a match for Grumpy Pirate Penguin Pete though?
This book has a bit too much backstory. The concept is funny, and the story has a lot of fun elements, but the conflict wasn't compelling at all. Coupled with the clipart style illustrations, I felt rather let down.

Funny
What happens when a penguin at the zoo goes rogue? A clever monkey comes to the rescue in this bright and funny book. Children will enjoy the pictures and the mystery. Great fun!

This book is about a monkey that fights his zoo's chaos every night to keep the zoo running and fun for families. I like this book for students because it is very fun and cool for kids to read, especially in a read aloud.

Night at The Museum Meets Give A Mouse A Cookie
Chip was great at preventing and restoring the nightly chaos of the Zoo coming alive. It captivated my 3 YO but my 8 YO was less impressed.

A Day at the zoo
A story about how the animals react to chaos at the zoo. Its entertaining and funny to see some of the scenes in the book related slightly to a few television shows.

Inappropriate Image
There is an inappropriate image on page 7 of the kindle version. A certain body part image is shown on the kangaroo looking over the glass wall at the turtle.

Cute Story
Cute story about what happens in the zoo at night after everyone has gone hope. Cute drawings as well. Nothing all that exciting or memorable just a cute read.

Chaos theory for preschoolers
Actually most toddlers I've met could take on Pete the pirate penguin with ease, as with their overactive brains, they are chaos personified. But this is a fun and silly story just crying out to be read interactively.
