I think it means try to focus on one monkey than catch one monkey then go for to the other.I think it will work by trying to make friends with the monkey because once they get close enough Jay Berry can trick him in to letting one of the little monkeys on a walk or something and he'll catch them one by one.

It means to keep coming up with more ideas instead of just one.Grandpa wants Jay Berry to make friends with a trainer and show the trainer where the monkeys are.

I think it means that you should try to catch the monkeys.The new idea for Jay is that he should try to make friends with Jimbo (the smart monkey).I think that it will work because Jimbo hasn't bitten Jay or Rowdy yet in the book.

It means to have a idea just in case your first one doesn't work, kind of like a back-up plan.His idea is to try to become friends with the monkey then he might be able to catch them. I think it will work because what if the monkey knows his name and actually comes to Jay Berry. He would have all the monkeys because the big one is the leader. I don't think it will work because what if the writer just faked a name. I know he probably didn't but there is still a chance.

Keep more ideas and plans than just one.For him to try to make friends with the big monkey.I think it will work because the trainer said he likes people especially youngsters.Also because his grandpa probably thinks he playing games with him.

It means to have more than one plan in your head. Just in case your first one does not go well. You will have another plan.Grandpas new plan is for Jay Berry to make friends with the monkey. Instead of trying to catch them.

I think it means that you can only have one animal catching on your mind.

It means to keep more ideas than one.Grandpas new idea for Jay Berry is to try making friends with the big monkey.The big monkey will tell the little small monkeys it is safe and that they can trust Jay Berry.I think it will work because the writer said the big monkey was friendly with people.

He also needs to talk to the big monkey Jimbo and feed him and don't act like you want to catch him. I don't think that the plan will work because that monkey is really smart and i think he will know that something is going on.

Grandpa means that you should always think before you act.Grandpas new idea is for jay berry is to try to make friends with the hundred dollar monkey(Jimbo) that way he will obey and do what Jay berry tells him to do hopefully this will work. I think it wont work because he all ready caught 2 of the monkeys but all ready let them go so he probably did not gain enough of his trust.
