Naughty Little Monkeys

My child loves this book. She is 2 and first found it at the library. She was disappointed when it had to be returned so I went out looking for it. It is a book about monkeys being left at home and it takes the child through the alphabet. It does this by the names of the monkeys. My daughter loves it because my name is attached to a monkey. She can't put this book down.

With every turn of the page, my son laughed. This book was great. I have a paperback from Scholastic magazine, but I feel the hardcover book is well worth the price as the naughty monkeys get into all sorts of trouble. Several of the naughty monkeys do things that my son has gotten into trouble for, like cutting his hair and drawing on the walls. Great for letter recognition, and beginning letter sound. Each monkey has a name that begins with the letter sound and each monkey gets into trouble also reinforcing the letter sound. My son likes all the naughty monkeys, but one of his favorites is Robin. "Naughty little Monkey, Tracking up the rug. Her feet are very muddy from some holes that she has dug." Robin is carrying in a shovel full of dirt and you can see out the open door that she has dug holes in the yard and she has muddy foot prints all over. Very funny and very good art work.

What would happen if a human couple adopted 26 monkey children, dressed them in pajamas, sent them to bed and went out for the night? This book goes through each monkey's naughty antics throughout the house. The monkey's all have their names on their shirts, corresponding with the letter on the page, alphabetically. The naughty thing each monkey does also has something to do with his letter. (Jennifer writes her name on the table with JAM. Emily's wearing Mommy's EARRINGS.) This book would be good for reading time with your youngster. They'll enjoy the monkeys and get a kick out of the pictures.

Naughty Little Monkeys is a terrific book! My daughter enjoyed every moment of this story. The pictures are vivid and fun. The Naughty Little Monkeys will have your child laughing.
