Synopsis:
A Visit to Monkeys Eyebrow takes children on a hilarious tour of the individual United States, pairing up animals and bugs with odd city names - such as Monkeys Eyebrow, Kentucky! This book aims to enable young children to master basic geography early, which will give them a significant head start on their elementary and middle school years and carry on through adulthood. Children aged four to eight are its target market.

The book contains 50 very cute riddles that use city names as the subject. There is one for each state. It is laid out where a riddle's question is on a right-hand page and its answer on the following left-hand page. Colorful illustrations would depict zany animals interacting with a scene relevant to each respective city name. Additionally, every page would depict the featured state as well as its position in a map of the US.
