Five Little Monkeys Reading in Bed - (Five Little Monkeys Story) by Eileen Christelow (Paperback)

About the Book

Mama has said it is time for "Lights out! Sweet dreams! No more reading in bed," but her five little monkeys cannot resist reading just a few more books to one another.

Book Synopsis

After their mama reads to them, it's bedtime for the Five Little Monkeys. But they can't resist reading just one more book . . . or three! Soon Mama is so tired of trying to get her monkeys to quiet down and go to sleep, she picks up their books and takes them with her. At last, the monkeys are ready to settle down . . . until they hear strange sounds from down the hall. Could it be that Mama likes to read in bed too?

This playful addition to the bestselling Five Little Monkeys series features a lively rhymed verse and catchy refrain that's sure to keep young readers chanting along.
