Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In this zany cumulative verse, five silly simian siblings insist on bedtime mayhem, and--heedless of the doctor's admonition--each suffers the same injury. Ages 3-8.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-- In a brief prelude to the title rhyme, five little monkeys ready themselves for bed, and say goodnight to their mother. Then, really getting down to business, they launch into some serious bed-jumping. Young children familiar with this popular finger play will appreciate Christelow's incorrigible monkeys, jumping with abandon, oblivious to the repeated warning: "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!" Newcomers will find the rhyme a delightful discovery which begs to be repeated. With each successive casualty, mother monkey dutifully consults the doctor, and bandages the wounds. Finally, all five battle-weary monkey children are asleep, and mother can go to bed. Colored pencil drawings in soft pastels depict the totally silly but lovable monkey family and its doctor. This is a natural for younger story hours, and can also be used with beginning readers. Whether sublimely happy or ridiculously goofy, Christelow's expressive monkeys pack a lot of appeal. --Corinne Camarata, Port Washington Public Library, N.Y.

Love the Monkeys,

This review is from: Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed (Board book)
You have to love the monkeys. My 17 month old does. She will ask for my husband and I to read the book 10 times in a row. She never tires of hearing it and is now learning to do the motions with me. The pictures are great and I expect we will still be reading this one for years to come.

FUN!!!!!,

This review is from: Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed (Board book)
Chirstelow does a wonderful job of combining fun with counting so that children are drawn to the childish antics of the "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed". Getting ready for bed, the little monkeys go through their bedtime routine...put on their pajamas, brush their teeth and say goodnight to Mama. But!!! As soon as Mama is out of sight, the adventure begins! "Five little monkeys jumping on the bed/One fell off and bumped his head/Mama called the doctor/and the doctor said/No more monkeys jumping on the bed!" Now of course, the little monkeys do not heed the warning and continue the countdown as each time one monkey falls off and bumps his/her head, followed by Mama calling the doctor and the doctor repeatedly admonishing them - 'No more monkeys jumping on the bed!' until finally all are put to bed with bandages on their head in some form or another. Then Mama retreats and says 'Finally, I can go to bed' and jumps on the bed!!! Counting and the childlike actions of the little monkeys make this a fun book for all to enjoy.

Too much fun for bedtime!,

This review is from: Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed (Board book)
Yes, this book WILL get the kids trying to jump on the bed. It's a lot of fun, and much laughing is heard whenever we read it. There is a lot of detail in the pictures - I love watching the doctor, and Mama gives us a great ending! I picked this up when my younger son was asking for us to play "monkeys on the bed" (the rhyme with hand motions)over & over & over - my fingers were tired. We've been reading ever since! Have I mentioned that the board book format is a great, sturdy idea? Definately a good buy, and highly recommended.
