We are big fans of the Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed by Eileen Christelow. The illustrations are so much fun and I don't know what mom doesn't relate to the last page. I went to the library and picked up a few more Five Little Monkeys books...
Five Little Monkeys Sitting in A Tree - almost as much fun as jumping on the bed - great for storytime and can easily be made into a finger play or felt board. The twins loved saying "snap" for the Mr. Crocodile.
Five Little Monkeys Bake A Cake - cute and fun but not my favorite - not the twins favorite either.
Five Little Monkeys With Nothing to Do - this is a better story - the twins love when they get dirty all over again. I find the illustrations are more fun to look at than the actual story.
We seem to have a few more Five Little Monkeys books to get... Five Little Monkeys Wash The Car, Five Little Monkeys Go Shopping and Five Little Monkeys Play Hide and Seek.
I really like Eileen Christelow's website. There are great additional activities for the classroom and information on all on her books.

My daughter loves Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. We haven't read the others yet. Thanks for the recommendation.
