Critical reception

Five Little Monkeys received good reviews. Kirkus Reviews stated "Her pictures are big, splashy, and angular. The monkeys look as though they are made of electric charged pipe cleaners, and the overall effect epitomizes the humorous side of jungle life".[2] The New York Times wrote "they will give a great deal of pleasure to small humans".[3]

gollark: I mean, my approach to such a problem would just be to duckduckgo "factorize number" or something, and most of the programmers on the servers potatOS is tested on were fine with it. People could even have just *asked* how to do it.
gollark: It's not a hard problem. I'm not doing it in my head.
gollark: But somehow SO MANY PEOPLE don't get it. They just say "HELP ME IT IS DIFFICULT MATHS IS THIS VIRUS" or "WHAT IS THIS I DO NOT KNOW MATHS WHAT IS SEMIPRIME" and stuff.
gollark: I thought "well, this is an easy problem, you just need to duckduckgo 'factorize number' or use the `factor` command".
gollark: You know potatOS? To uninstall it, you need to solve a simple problem to stop automatic uninstallation (computers can do it easily but due to technical things user code can't actually *read* the problem it prints). Specifically, it generates a 10-digit semiprime and asks you to factorize it.
