It is funny and easy to read.This story teaches them a valuable lesson to learn from their mistakes. It also teaches them how to subtract, this would be great to incorporate in your math lessons. Fun counting book. Only complaint is that it is stereotypically gendered -- the doctor is a man, of course. The parent is a mom. The monkeys are more boys than girls. The girls are all wearing little girlie outfits. Admittedly there's probably not a lot of scope for gender subversion in this little rhyming book, so there's not too much that can go wrong. But I like to be pleasantly surprised. All that said, I loved the last page -- 'Thank goodness!' said the mama. 'Now I can go to bed!' and then she's dancing on the bed. Counting helps them identify numbers and helps with subtraction. This is a cute story with an important message, don't jump on the bed. This can also be used for math because it counts down from five till three are no more little monkeys. This could also be used for interactive writing because of the repeating sentences, and similar sentences. K-3. This book is about 5 little mischievious monkeys that are constantly being told by their mother not to jump on the bed because they one-by-one fall off and bump their heads. It's also a fun little chant that students will be able to participate in and pick up pretty easily. 0.043 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
