My son LOVES this book!

My son is 2 years old and LOVES this book! We borrowed it from the library and the first time I read it he was cracking up. This is actually unusual because normally he has to read something a few times before getting interested in it. We've been reading it every day, sometimes several times. I have fun reading and singing and he has fun listening. I'll definitely be buying this book to add to our permanent collection. I have a feeling it's going to be a favorite for years. A lot of fun!!

Too large in size

This book is a bit awkward to hold and read to a toddler. The book is very large and heavy and hard to balance in your lap as you read. Not ideal for bedtime reading while trying to snuggle with a little one. The illustrations are nice and it is a classic story.

Great Book

My one year old son and three year old daughter love this book. I only gave it four stars since reading it twice a day seven days a week can get a bit boring for any parent. My daugther runs around the house chanting no more monkeys jumping on the bed.

Thank you for such a great book.

My 3 year old loves this book. We borrowed it from the library and on our next library trip I tried to return it but she freaked out. She told me that we had to keep it forever and ever. The story is the traditional five little monkeys and the illustration is cute. I am going to buy it for Christmas. Thank you for such a great book.

My son makes me read it over and over!

My 13.5 month old LOVES this book. He will hand it to me to read, then hand it to me again as soon as I'm finished. Sometimes this happens many, many times in a row. I'm giving it 4 stars because he loves it so much - the missing star is because *I* get bored with it in 5 seconds. I'd much prefer to read something by Boynton or Dr. Seuss 7 times in a row, but if he's happy, I'm happy.
