Five little monkeys predictably make a mess trying to bake their mother a birthday cake, but the chaos is fun, and I love that Mama made preparations to sleep in and makes the most of a bad situation by hitting on some firefighting beefcake. ( )

Same song new adventure! Now the monkeys bake a cake ( )

When I was little I remember reading the Five Little Monkeys books, so I was so excited to find them in the Children's library at UNO. I loved this book! Eileen Christelow uses repetition in this book, especially the phrase, "Sh-h-h! Don't wake up Mama!" to emphasize they were trying not to wake her, plus it's the title of the book! I think this is great book to read to kids because it can show them the importance of baking with an adult and not unsupervised! I also just like the personalities of the five little monkeys and think this series is adorable ( )

the little monkeys try to make mama a birthday cake. they end up burning it a bit so the fire department comes and helps them finish it. it ends up not being mamas birthday until tomorrow but they still eat cake for breakfast.
