Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed Eileen Christelow

 ?NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING ON THE BED!? The nursery rhyme ?Five Little Monkeys? has long been a favorite song and finger play with the preschool set, but Eileen Christelow gives it new life as a hilarious picture book. Her expressive pencil and watercolor illustrations capture both the glee and the pratfalls of those misbehaving monkeys. A sure-fire hit at story hour, this rhythmic romp is a counting lesson, too, as the five bouncy bed-jumpers bump their heads and get hauled off to the doctor one by one.
