Five Little Monkeys Go Shopping by Eileen Christelow

Five Little Monkeys Go Shopping by Eileen Christelow

The best-selling Five Little Monkeys are getting into trouble yet again - this time while back-to-school shopping in the latest board book addition to the enormously popular series with more than 8 million books sold.

The day before school starts, Mama takes her five little monkeys shopping for new clothes. "Stay right here," she says, "AND DON'T GO WANDERING OFF!" But one little monkey has to go to the bathroom . . . and two little monkeys get thirsty. . . . Then three little monkey friends arrive . . . and four little monkeys decide to go help find the others. . . . Will Mama ever get all of her monkeys ready for school? Like with the other books in the FIVE LITTLE MONKEYS series, kids will love reciting the repetitive phrases, counting the characters, and predicting what will happen next.

A perfect mix of chaos and charm for little readers:

• A Fun Counting Book: Can you keep track of all the monkeys? Little ones will love counting up and down as the five little monkeys (and their new friends) get mixed up in the store.
• Silly Animal Story: From bathroom breaks to thirsty toddlers, these mischievous monkeys find plenty of reasons to wander off, leaving Mama to search for her missing little ones!
• Perfect for Reading Aloud: With catchy, repetitive phrases like "Stay right here!", this book is designed for participation, helping kids predict the story and join in the fun.
• Kindergarten Readiness: A lighthearted way to talk about big-kid steps like starting school and learning to stick together while shopping.
