Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed: By Eileen Christelow

 This book is about 5 monkeys who are jumping on the bed despite being told not to by their mother and their doctor.  This book does not have a very complicated plot as the whole book is very repetitive.  It has a distinct beat it should be read to and it also includes rhymes.  At the end of the book, once all five monkeys have fallen off the bed, gotten hurt, and gone to sleep, the last page shows the mother monkey jumping on her bed.  

I am not sure if I would use this book in my classroom.  This book seems better suited for preschool-age children as it is fun and repetitive, but there is not very much content within it to teach from.  I think it would make a fun read-aloud for preschool or maybe kindergarten though.
