Fun Book - Toddler Favorite

I've got a 2 yr old that just thinks hide & seek is the greatest game ever. She was also already a fan of the Five Little Monkeys from the Jumping on the Bed song & (of course) the book. We checked this out at the library and it's been a huge hit. I've had to read it about 16 times in the last 3 days. Of course, I'm now here to buy our own copy! Great, colorful illustrations and cute, repetitive rhymes really hold my daughter's attention. She's even started saying "I see some fingers..." etc when we play hide & seek. For the mom who's 18 month old isn't interested...just wait!

good counting book

Listen, my kids love the "little monkeys" but I used this one to teach my "almost" 4 yr old to count up to and past 100. As reader you might be tempted to gloss over the counting but if your kid is ready this is a great way to teach them to count. Add it to your library so you'll have when they are ready. I was amazed none of the other reviews emphasized this point, so I just had to add my two cents.

Go Bananas for this Book!

Ready or not, the Five Little Monkeys are at it again! Mama, dressed in bright red, leaves her five little mischief-makers with a blue-eye-shadowed, bubble-gum blowing teen named Lulu. They'll try anything to keep from going to bed at eight, including an ongoing game of hide-and-seek and a frantic quest for the ultimate hiding spot. My girls, ages 5 and 3, love all the books in the Five Little Monkey series because they're so silly. The rhyming text and repetitive phrases make it easy for them to read along with me...over and over again, of course (they're not the only monkeys who hate to go to bed on time!).

ready for a fun game of hide and seek?

The five little monkey are left with a baby sitter for the night. They want to play hide and seek. Their baby sitter agrees to one game but it leads to several more. Each time the baby sitter is told to count a little higher and the game gets more intense! They trick her into counting to 104. After that she can't find them anywhere! Mama comes home nd finds them hiding in bed! The book kept the attention of my 2 year old well. Not too many words per page and lots of fun monkey pictures to look at! I would recommend this book to others. The author had written several books with the same monkey characters in them.
