Diane Wolkstein had a picture book version which is now old and hard to find: it was titles *Cool Ride in the Sky.* Julius Lester has a newer one called something like *How Mr. Monkey Saw the World.* Those are off the top of my head; probably Jackie Torrance, storyteller, did it, but I don't know if she has it on tape. It may be in one of the NAPPS (now NSN) story anthologies. I tell it on hot days, as do many many librarian and free-lance storytellers.
