Five Little Monkeys by Christelow - ESSENTIAL

Christelow, Eileen. Five Little Monkeys Bake a Birthday Cake, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1992. $7.99. Content G, PICTURE BOOK.

It’s Mama’s birthday and the five monkeys get up early to bake her a birthday cake.  They think nothing can go wrong, but really not much goes right.  It’s a great book with rhyming couplets and is a must have.

Christelow, Eileen. Five Little Monkeys Wash the Car, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2000. $7.99. Content G, PICTURE BOOK.

Mama has had it with the old car that doesn’t work so she puts a “for sale” sign on it. The monkeys think it will be a great idea to clean it up before it is sold. They even find an unlikely buyer in the process. It’s a great book with rhyming couplets and is a must have.

Christelow, Eileen. Five Little Monkeys With Nothing to Do, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1996. $7.99. Content G, PICTURE BOOK.
It’s summer break and the monkeys have nothing to do. Mama give them chores to keep the house clean, but one trip to the swamp undoes all their hard work.  It’s a great book with rhyming couplets and is a must have.
