"Five little monkeys wake up with the sun. Today is their mama’s birthday and they are going to bake a cake. They'll have to measure the flour and mix in the right number of eggs, and get it all into the oven in time for the birthday surprise—without waking up Mama!"
This is such a fun and cute book. Measuring, counting, following a recipe/directions and working as a team are just some of the skills that can be obtained by reading this book with children. I also ask open ended questions to get their minds and imaginations flowing. "Shhhh.....don't wake up mama.", is a line that is repeated throughout the book. After about the third time, the kids are saying it with me. We have read this book numerous times and now when we get to that one particular line, the kids are so excited that they beat me saying it.
You can find this book in your local Public Library but by the time you return it, you'll want to buy it to add to your personal library. Happy Reading.
