Monkeys are really good, and this book is really short, so I like the book. - JK

The book was really short, and it didn't give us much information about it, and I think it should give us more information about monkeys. - ML

I rate the story a 5 because it's short, it's simple, and it gives us a lot of details about monkeys. - SS

Mr. Monkey learned about his family. - RML

I didn't like it that much. It only talked about how they swing and what they do. - SF

Grammar: Present tense

During Reading: Have students TPR the verbs

Part of an entire series of bilingual books called "Science Emergent Readers" from Scholastic. Stunning photographs and extremely basic text in both Spanish and English re: what monkeys do make this an excellent addition to content-enriched biology/science units.

This is about what monkeys would do during their time. I would use this in the classroom to explain about different elements.
