Will leave young readers giggling, and craving a peanut butter and banana sandwich of their own...

Rocko and Spanky are twins. Twins who love company. Which is why today is an exciting day for the sock monkeys, for they are having company this afternoon. But there are two tiny problems...Rocko and Spanky's house needs some serious cleaning, and they're out of food. Everyone knows that it's impossible to have a visitor over without offering them something to eat, so the two monkeys quickly clean up their house until it's spotless and shiny, then Rocko heads to the store for supplies to make delicious peanut butter and banana sandwiches. However, when Rocko returns, he has forgotten the essential ingredients for their delectable lunch, and the two monkeys find themselves in a bind. One that could destroy their plans completely. There are few children's books out there that make you identify with characters that are out of your species - i.e. monkeys - but Kara and Jenna LaReau's ROCKO AND SPANKY HAVE COMPANY is just that. Bringing Rocko and Spanky to life, and making them feel like old friends. Filled with adorable illustrations that depict these two crazy, hair-brained monkeys taking part in various sneaky schemes, and preparing for their surprise visitor, ROCKO AND SPANKY HAVE COMPANY will leave young readers giggling, and craving a peanut butter and banana sandwich of their own.
