#1621 in our old book database. Rated: Good.

The Five Little Monkeys are helping Mama spruce up their old car in order to sell it. But a little accident soon has them surrounded by hungry crocodiles! The lively rhymes make the predicament exciting and the outcome amusing. Probably my favorite book in the series.

I may like this because it's a little too relatable. When I was a tiny one, I was playing in my father's car in front of our house and managed to knock it out of gear. A hill, gravity, and a poorly placed barn led to me bursting in on my father as he sat on his throne in the bathroom and announcing, "I drove it, Dad! I drove it! But I wrecked her, Dad. I wrecked her all to hell." ( )

This is from a wonderful series that entains children easily. I liked this one because it made me giggle a bit. My kids loved the monkey's and how they did things. I liked how the story was about helping out mom so a lesson can be taught here as well. Cute and intertaining pictures. This series of books by Eileen Christelow really should be in every young childs personal library. ( )

This was a really cute book. Once again, Christelow used repetition and rhyming throughout the book. I love rhymes because I think they're catchy and kids enjoy hearing them. I thought it was humorous that crocodiles bought a car with a check, but I guess that's why it's fiction (Haha!). ( )

discuss the silly adventures of the 5 little monkeys trying to wash a car. very silly with crocodiles and other silly animals.
