Description

The five little monkeys and Mama are eager to get a new car. The five little monkeys clean and paint their old car until it sparkles like new. But who will buy it? Most likely those clever monkeys can convince their cranky crocodile neighbors that what they in point of fact need is . . . yes, a car! Children will love predicting how the five little monkeys will handle every new challenge, making this a perfect story for interactive reading. Energetic verse and Eileen Christelow’s inimitably comic illustrations put the five little monkeys in the driver’s seat in more ways than one.

The five little monkeys and their mama have had it with their “rickety, rattletrap wreck of a car.” It is time to sell this old heap. Mama makes a “For Sale” sign and goes inside. But her ever-helpful children worry that the car is too icky, sticky, and slimy, and take matters into their own industrious hands. “I know!” says one little monkey. And next thing they know, they are washing and scrubbing the filthy jalopy. Now it is clean, but still rusty and stinky. The monkeys ponder. “I know!” says one little monkey. Soon the car is painted and perfumed within an inch of its life. Unfortunately, it is not visible to potential buyers. “I know!” says one little monkey. With a majority of these collective brainstorms, it is not long before the sparkly clean, psychedelically colorful car has landed in the swamp, with the five chagrined little monkeys inside, and a gaggle of crocodiles lurking nearby, licking their chops. How will they ever get themselves out of this mess, and sell the car, to boot? “I know!” says one little monkey…

These five are no strangers to silly predicaments and clever solutions, as evidenced in Eileen Christelow’s four other entertaining picture books about the quintet, including Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed and Five Little Monkeys Sitting in a Tree. (Ages 3 to 7) –Emilie Coulter
