Five Little Monkeys Reading in Bed

By Eileen Christelow

After their mama reads to them, it's bedtime for the Five Little Monkeys. But they can't resist reading just one more book . . . or three! Soon Mama is so tired of trying to get her monkeys to quiet down and go to sleep, she picks up their books and takes them with her. At last, the monkeys are ready to settle down . . . until they hear strange sounds from down the hall. Could it be that Mama likes to read in bed too? 

This playful addition to the bestselling Five Little Monkeys series features a lively rhymed verse and catchy refrain that's sure to keep young readers chanting along.

Reviews for Five Little Monkeys Reading in Bed

[mdelaney03 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Five little monkeys are so excited about reading, no matter how much their mother tells them to stop, they just can't. Eventually she takes away their book, but no sooner has she done that that she begins reading it and the little monkeys see her enjoying their book.

Maybe it's just the librarian in me, but this book about a bunch of monkeys that can't stop reading when they should be asleep just does my heart good. I'm all for being well rested, but a group of monkeys that are that intent on reading are alright in my book any day.
