About Spunky Little Monkey
Product Description "A great way to get the wiggles out, young readers can't help but join this energetic monkey as he stomps, claps, and cheers his way through the pages and into the day." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor Sleepy little monkey won't get out of bed. Mama called the Doctor and the Doctor said: "Apple Juice, Orange Juice, Gooseberry Pies -- Monkey needs some exercise!" Sleepy little monkeys everywhere will clap, stomp, shake, and cheer -- while chanting this rhythmic, energetic dance song based on a popular playground game. And as they move their heads, hands, hips, and feet -- everyone will be bursting with clapping energy -- and ready to start a new day! With humor, high energy, and Bill Martin Jr's trademark rhythm and rhyme, young readers will learn to name parts of the body. And the book makes a perfect exercise warm-up to start off a busy day of school! From School Library Journal PreS-K—In this twist on the classic children's clapping game "Down Down Baby," the titular little monkey won't get out of bed until the doctor prescribes some exercise as the remedy. What results is an infectious, rhythmic dancing game, complete with clapping, stomping, and shaking. It's nearly impossible to resist joining in, and possibly even more difficult to get the rhyming song out of one's head once the book is through. Won's bold, colorful illustrations fill each page, bringing the spunky chimp to life. With simple, lyrical repetition, this is a fantastic book for young children and one that can easily be adapted for younger elementary-age kids. Sampson includes a note about the importance of daily exercise along with a poignant remark regarding reading as a form of exercise. VERDICT A whimsical and playful way to inspire children to be both physically and mentally engaged. In the end, Monkey's friends join in the fun, as will any reader or listener, making this a popular storytime title.—Kaitlin Malixi, Bucks County Free Library, Doylestown, PA Review "An infectious, rhythmic dancing game, complete with clapping, stomping, and shaking.

Moreover, the repeated chorus endows the episode with storytime-friendly rhythm and predictability. A tip of the hat to this buoyant debut." --Booklist"The artwork, done in a pastel palette, is appealing and playful, and the heritage of Mary Blair can be seen in the spreads...This lighthearted story revels in the small acts that make life better -- cheers all around." --Kirkus Reviews From the Inside Flap Sleepy little monkey won't get out of bed.
