adsacdacsdAshley has a special pet - a cute little chimpanzee named Tina. Tina is a lot of fun to play with, but she sure makes big messes, too! As our story begins, Ashley and her friend Rylee are chasing Tina through the house, trying to catch her before she gets into anything. But they're too late - Tina has gotten into the fridge and is squirting ketchup all over the floor.

She got Tina on a special trip she took to Africa with her family. She wasn't sure what to expect from Africa when they went there-she'd had her heart set on the beach. But she made up her mind to go treasure hunting while in Africa, and to make the most of it. She enjoyed the plane ride and couldn't wait to be on her hunt.

They stayed in huts that had no electricity. This definitely wasn't any kind of vacation she'd heard of! But when her parents tell her she can pick an animal to take home as a pet, things start to look up. They take her to the largest pet store in the world, right there in Africa, and she sees what she wants almost as soon as she arrives. It's a cute baby chimpanzee, with a huge pink bow on her head.

We read about taking Tina home, her adjustment to life in a house, and all the things Ashley has to do to take care of her. The length of a short chapter book, this story is put into a picture book format so we can enjoy illustrations along with the story. I found the book charming, and my daughter loved it-at the age of eleven, she's a self-proclaimed animal expert, and she enjoyed reading all about Tina's wild escapades.

If you're looking for a fun book for your children, "Ashley's Unforgettable Summer" is one to add to your shopping list.

(This book was published in 2007 by Xlibris Corporation and was illustrated by Charr Floyd.)
