Apostrophe use on Monkeys
I have an activity heading for a children's activity book and am hesitant regarding my apostrophe use.
The heading is "The Monkeys' Day of Fun". It's a story about a group of monkeys that have fun. Hence I put the apostophe on the outside of the "monkeys" to show it refers to the group of monkeys as a whole. Is this correct?

The apostrophe is correctly placed. It doesn't refer to the group, but monkeys in the plural. Rover

Rover_KEThe apostrophe is correctly placed.Awesome, so I can leave it as-is and go to print. Sometimes the CEO throws me off with "Are you sure this is the correct plural", so I just wanted to make double sure.
Thanks for the help.
