Monkey Bedtime - by Alex English (Hardcover)

About the Book

I'm sure my mum won't mind, I thought, he's really very small. One tiny pygmy marmoset could do no harm at all . . . But when he is followed by six red-handed howlers, six macaques, ten capuchins and two great big baboons there's going to be trouble! Surely mum will notice the banana skins, the toothpaste, the handprints on the walls . . .

Book Synopsis

How are you supposed to get ready for bed when there are a growing number of monkeys who just won't stop messing around?

Suddenly I heard an EEK, a TAP TAP on the pane.

A tiny little monkey face was peering through the rain.

I'm sure my mom won't mind, I thought. He's really very small.

One tiny pygmy marmoset could do no harm at all. . .

When a little boy lets a monkey in through his window, he doesn't expect it to bring all its friends!

But when he is followed by six red-handed howlers, six macaques, ten capuchins and two great big baboons there's going to be trouble! Surely mom will notice the banana skins, the toothpaste, the handprints on the walls . . .

Will he ever get to bed with all this monkeying around?

Alex's hilarious rhyming text matched with Pauline's expressive illustrations makes for the perfect bedtime read!
