Free Monkey World Tour
Day Two: Take Your Monkey to Work Day
Free Monkey's day started bright and early, and we got to work early and bright. He was given a tour of my workplace, where he climbed the bookshelves to his heart's content. He met other critters, such as a stuffed orangutan, and my co-workers, one of which you'll see in the pictures below. Click on a thumbnail to view a larger version of the picture in a new window.
Free Monkey smooches Romanov Princess.
Romanov Princess reads to Free Monkey from Looking for Alaska, written by his uncle, John Green.
Free Monkey visits Maureen's blog and reads about himself.
After reading Maureen's blog, Free Monkey decided that he liked the viewpoint from my desk, so there he stayed while I completed paperwork and data entry.
After work, I swung by the post office to place Free Monkey in their loving arms. He will visit Rebecca next.

Free Monkey World Tour
Stop One, Day One: Girl Meets Monkey
Free Monkey pays me (Little Willow) a visit
Free Monkey sits on the throne
to honor the memory of my cat Hollywood
and to compare wings with Tinker Bell
Dangles meets Free Monkey
Free Monkey reads Girl at Sea,
written by his owner, Maureen Johnson
Free Monkey sits in front of
a pyramid of Maureen Johnson books
Free Monkey reads banned books, and so should you!
After snapping these photos, Free Monkey sat down at my computer and wrote an email to his owner.
Dear Maureen,
I'M HERE!
Little Willow seems happy to see me. She introduced me to her boss and her summer helpers at the bookstore. I also met a stuffed monkey named Dangles, which came from Little Willow's fake brother KAM. (He doesn't know Uncle John or Uncle Hank, though.)
Now she's home, so we're going to watch a movie with some lady named Barbara Candlestick -- oops, she said the last name is actually Stanwyck -- and post at her blog so everyone knows I'm here.
Have fun in Georgia!
From your favorite V.I.P.*

A very special guest arrived yesterday -- a small visitor who goes by the name Free Monkey.
He may appear to be "a simple sock monkey in a T-shirt," but he is a complex creature with a story all his own. He was born in England, then adopted by author Maureen Johnson, who brought him to the United States. Last month, Maureen decided to send him around the world on his very own tour, and I was pleased to be picked as one of the hosts.
Yesterday, after Free Monkey emerged from my mailbox, he recovered quickly from his jet lag and was eager to see what I was doing. I showed him around my place, and he settled right in.
I apologize for the poor quality of these photos. I got a digital camera. It didn't work. I used a camera phone instead.
