A very cute book. Its good to have a good lesson. Illustrations are done very well. Good's kid book. ( )

This book is so cute and I know children will love learning how to count and read with it. I think they will like the story about the silly monkey that plays the day away with all the animals. I recommend this book for children who can’t count or read yet as well as those that can. Thank you for this fun read. ( )

We really enjoyed this book. The cute little monkey gets into all sorts of trouble taking things that aren't his. (you can count these on every page except for the 10 hairs on the lions head- after they are cut you can count them) In the end the monkey gives everything back and all is forgiven so that it a good lesson on the side included in this lovely counting book. While it is great for the toddlers even my 6 year old loved the illustrations and said that his favorite part was the teeth being stolen! This is a great book for little people and it would be wonderful to have in a print version (ours is digital)
I received this book in exchange for an honest review. ( )

My son (4) enjoyed this book. My only complaint is that on the last number, before the lion gets his hair cut, there are not 10 definite strands of hair to count. On the other pages we would count whatever it is before the monkey takes it, but that's not possible with the lion. It's a small complaint, thought, because after the hair is cut we can count the hairs.

Delightful book for children. I have a 2 year old and he loves monkeys (who doesn't?). The artwork was vibrant and well suited for a children's book. The writing was perfect for a young child, the rhyming structure and the fun little character himself, the monkey. The counting and catchy lines put together made the book cute and an active read with my toddler.

I think this is a perfect addition to a child's library and would love to see the character continue his misadventures in future titles.

Side note: I received this ebook in epub (NOOK) format and there was a readability issue where the first word of some sentences was cut off. I emailed the author and she sent me extra alternate formats and was going to look into the issue. That's the kind of responsiveness that I'd love to see from all authors and it was appreciated. ( )
