LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS
Mr. Monkey, with a bunch of bananas slung over his back, came scrambling up to the tree-house.
So he gave a jump out of the net, but, in a second found himself inside the wooden crate or box.
Away up to the top he went, and, curling his tail around a rope, there he sat.
Around and around in a ring went Prince carrying Mappo.
He rode around a little wooden platform on the bicycle, holding a flag over his shoulder.
Mappo sat up at the table and eat his dinner with knife, fork and spoon.

CHAPTER I
MAPPO AND THE COCOANUT

And I am going to tell you some of the wonderful things that happened to Mappo, while he lived in the big woods, and afterwards, when he was caught by a hunter, and sent off to live in a circus.
But we will begin at the beginning, if you please.
Mappo, as I have said, lived in a tree in the woods. Now it might seem funny for you to live in a tree, but it came very natural to Mappo. Lots of creatures live in trees. There are birds, and squirrels, and katydids. Of course they do not stay in the trees all the time, any more than you boys and girls stay in your houses all the while. They go down on the ground to play, occasionally.
"But you will find the safest place for you is the
