Five Little Monkeys Jumping On the Bed: Picture Book - Predictable Pattern

Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, written and illustrated by Eileen Christelow
Publisher: Clarion Books

Pages: 32

Genre: Picture Book - Predictable Pattern

Rating: Thumbs Up!!

This is a little repetative story about five little monkeys that are headed to bed. While there, they each jump on the bed and one falls off. The mom returns after talking to the doctor to report that they should stop, until all have gotten hurt. Finally, mom lays down the law and her five monkeys go to bed.

This is a very cute and fun story to tell children and they tend to get into the story. For these reasons I gave it a "Thumbs Up". The predicable pattern is also a good way to introduce children into problem solving, offering up the question 'What will happen if..... or What will happen next....?'
