Summary: - This book is the classic story of the Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, but with a twist. Instead of being monkeys jumping, it's monsters. Its an easy book for children to follow along with because of the repitition, and the rhyming makes it fun.
Extension Activities: - This would be a perfect book to use a visual activity so that the children can follow along easily. Using five monster finger puppets would work very well because every time you read the next verse you could take away one puppet. This would also make a good book to read around Halloween because after reading the book, each child could make a monster of their own.
