Your next favorite book
is waiting.
by Eileen Christelow
Their teeth are brushed, their pajamas are on, and as soon as they say good night to Mama, the five little monkeys start to jump on their bed!
But trouble awaits as, one by one, they fall off and bump their heads! The uproarious rhyme is brought to life in this family favorite. With its mischievous illustrations and surprising twist, this contemporary classic is a sturdy and beautiful book to give as a gift or add to a home library.
Little ones will love giggling along with those naughty monkeys!
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head. The mama called the doctor. The doctor said, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
"Whether sublimely happy or ridiculously goofy, Christelow's expressive monkeys pack a lot of appeal." ―School Library Journal (starred review)
