Loved it!
Got it for my two year old son and soon became a favorite for everybody. We are raising him bilingual and, unlike other books we have got, the words were carefully chosen to have the same simple lines, fun history in both English and Spanish. Beware... your kid will also want to jump on the bed, though ;-)

Great classic in English, but not good in Spanish.
I bought this book because I thought I had found another perfect book for my bilingual son.The English portion is the classic we all love.However, the Spanish section is just a literal translation with absolutely no rhyme or flow to it.I was very disappointed by the translation.

La parte en español no vale la pena ya que no tiene rima ni fluye como el original en inglés.Si hubiera sabido esto no hubiera comprado la versión bilingüe.Seguiré buscando otras versiones de este cuento que tanto le gusta a mi hijo.Espero encontrar una buena versión en español.

Just Like the Song - Very Cute
I know my grandkids love the song (check youtube) and bought this book to help reinforce Spanish for them.It's nicely illustrated & the translations are good.The kids enjoy me reading it to them.Even though the younger child is only 16 months old, she sits very attentively the entire reading.I do recommend this book & would buy it again. ...

Bad velcro on monkeys' hands
These are not bad, but the velcro on the palms of monkeys' hands that is supposed to hold them together does not. If you are not going to use them in that manner then these finger puppets are fine otherwise. They are nicely made, good quality, but the velcro is my main issue with them.

5 little monkeys
My daughter and her friend love these little monkey's. Only wish that the velcro on the hands was stronger as they don't hold very well together. If that were better I'd give20 stars!!

Incredible Quality for a GREAT Price!
How can you beat five adorable, high qulaity finger puppets for just over $16.00???These puppets are very detailed and wear the outfits that are depicted in the book by Eileen Christelow.Our daughter LOVES puppets and dramtic play brings tremendous educational value to our reading/story time.Or you can just sing the song with the puppets to act it out!Any way you use these finger puppets they are sure to be a hit! ...

Monkeys wash the car

Product Description
The irrepressible crew from Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed returns in this version of a traditional hand rhyme. The familiar chant tells of five foolish monkeys who are eaten when they tease a hungry crocodile. Christelow chooses a more lighthearted approach, illustrating it in sunny-colored pastels outlined in ink. She places the rhyme in a picnic setting; while the mother dozes, the little monkeys scamper out on a limb and fearlessly call to a crocodile, "You can't catch me!" But the crocodile's jaws snap, and one by one the monkeys disappear. Bright patches of clothing and pairs of little eyes among the leaves will signal perceptive listeners that all is well. Children will enjoy being in on the secret that even the mother monkey, awakened by all the noise, doesn't know. In the upbeat ending, all the children pop out of their hiding places, safe and sound. Some readers may question why the mother snoozes, leaving her brood to look after themselves, or why she doesn't come to their aid when she thinks they are in danger. The intended audience, however, will overlook these lapses of logic as they delight in the mischief-making. ... Read more
