Five Little Monkeys Sitting in a Tree


Story Title: Five Little Monkeys Sitting in a Tree

Author: Eileen Christelow

Illustrator: Eileen Christelow
Genre: Traditional Literature

Characters: Five little monkeys and Mr. Crocodile

Summary: Five little monkeys learn that it is not a good idea to tease a crocodile. One by one they disappear.

Comments: I have read this story to a large group of two year olds before. They adored it and always asked for more. When read with a sing-song voice, this story is very fun. Hand motions can be used too, like counting down from five with your fingers and clapping your arms shut like a crocodile's mouth.

Grade Level: Preschool/Kindergarten

I agree that this is adored by young children. My neices shout aloud with excitement when I read it and the illustrations are beautiful.
