Three Little Monkeys

This book was so silly and fun and fabulous in a vintage classic sort of way. True if you're looking at it in a literal thought of “pet” monkeys it won't fit you. But if you're coming to it after looking for more books to read aloud to your rambunctious children after reading “Caps for Sale”, and “Curious George” or even “Five Little Monkeys” then you are in for a real treat.

Repetition and sequence activity is available making it predictable in segments which is great for the K-3 child. The text is witty and the monkeys are adorable (round wide innocent eyes, just like some children I know...). The illustrations are very attractive and full of details to pour over and study. It is entertaining and one that I could easily fitting in with the classics we keep around.

While there is no real moral per say. The monkeys do shape up from their woah-be-gone ways. Or at least it seems. But that is so much so again like a little child. Naughty but oh so loveable. What is a mama to do? The book made me grin and even made me love the idea of a curious bored little monkey a little more.

Review copy. Honest opinion.
