"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

My baby daughter loves this book that we picked up at a Little Free Library near my house. I hope she doesn't destroy it so we can pass it on to another young reader.

For little ones, interactive elements help keep them engaged with reading, and the three-dimensionality of the puppet in this book was an immediate and huge hit with my little daughter.

Recommended to all parents and children.

I like the monkey, the song is fun too! My mom’s friend, Katie gave this book to me :)

Currently a favourite of Jon’s. What does book lacks in content it makes up for in exciting 3-D effects via the central finger puppet. A little disappointing that we only make it to one monkey falling off the bed. Another positive star because Jon enjoys biting at the finger puppet throughout the reading.

My daughter loves these finger puppet books. This one is extra fun since it's about monkeys jumping on the bed which allows for extra silly finger wiggling.

Not much to it, but baby loves to smash the monkey puppet’s face, and I secretly enjoy making the voice of a poor smash-faced monkey.

Pro- it only goes through one verse of the song. Con- the finger puppet is awkward and weird looking

This abridged version is better than the original!

We like the finger puppet books up until about 18 months. They are super great for young babies! Plus you can sing with them, which is so fun.

The first verse of the classic children song, accompanied by a fuzzy finger puppet.
