Five little monkeys are so excited about reading, no matter how much their mother tells them to stop, they just can't. Eventually she takes away their book, but no sooner has she done that that she begins reading it and the little monkeys see her enjoying their book.

Very cute, easy reading 5 monkeys reading in bed, their mother puts them to sleep and they keep waking up and goofing off. This could be a fun book to read for any occasion to 1st or 2nd graders.

Maybe it's just the librarian in me, but this book about a bunch of monkeys that can't stop reading when they should be asleep just does my heart good. I'm all for being well rested, but a group of monkeys that are that intent on reading are alright in my book any day.

This book shows the student the love for reading and how different books can have a different meaning. The book also demonstrates sharing good books so others can enjoy them.

I loved this book because I love reading and because it is a clever play on the 5 monkeys jumping on the bed book/rhyme. A good one to read with kids before going to bed.

Personal Reaction
I have two nieces who love to read. When they stay the night at my house they ask to read before bed. After reading two books they beg me to read more stories. We will read multiple books until I realize an hour has past and they are still awake. We have to stop reading since it is past their bedtime and I tell them we will finish the books tomorrow.
Extension Ideas:
1.The students could wear their pajamas and we have a reading day.
2.The students could bring in their favorite bedtime story and read it to the class.
3.The students could write their own bedtime story and share it with the class.
