"Hey, kids! Time to count the monkeys! This turns out to be a little harder than advertised, because first readers must avoid a king cobra, vote on the correct plural of mongoose, confuse three crocodiles, scare off four grizzly bears, and on and on, until they run out of pages and opportunities to count monkeys! (All is not lost — check out the endpapers.) The bright, colorful, Disney-esque illustrations add much to this supersilly, highly interactive, never-gonna-get-‘em-to-sleep-tonight gem that will keep kids and grown-ups amused — and counting — for many readings. (For ages 3 to 6)"
