Review

Sleepy little monkey turns into Spunky little monkey with a little encouragement and exercise. The digital illustrations are big and bold, helping to bring the monkey to life. An author's note explains the story is a modified version of the children's clapping game called "Down Down Baby." In another note the author explains the importance of exercise and the connection to reading as an exercise for the brain. Young children will enjoy the lively nature of the story. Great to use to encourage movement!

Overall Book Score: good
