"This book is good for 2nd, 3rd or 4th grade. It's good to help teach students how to fluently subtract using mental strategies. As the book is being read, monkeys leave the bed one at a time. Children can begin to think about how many monkeys they have in the bed and how many are remaining once one leaves. It is amazing because it works with the number 5 which becomes ten when doubled. Why is that important? Since our counting system is based on groups of ten, it is introducing children to groups of ten."

    " This story (and associated song) is a favorite around here. We read it, sing it, watch it on YouTube, and change the lyrics all the time so that just about anything can be jumping on the bed. That's how we roll. "

    " This is a cute, funny and predictable picture book. This is a book that I remember from my childhood as the rhyme of the text has stood with me over the years. The book depicts the the consequences of misbehaving that can be used as a teaching moment. However, it doesn't set the best example as it ends with the mother jumping on the bed. "

    " Many children will be familiar with the song of the five little monkeys and this book adds pictures to go along with it. Even if children aren't familiar with it they will soon be able to say it along with the reader because it's very repetitive. "
