Five little monkeys and their Mama walk down to the river for a picnic supper. While Mama takes a snooze, the five little monkeys climb a tree. Why? To tease Mr. Crocodile! "Can't catch me!" they shout, and Mr. Crocodile opens his big mouth: SNAP! Oh no! Now there are only four little monkeys! A second little monkey teases Mr. Crocodile, he snaps his jaws, and that little monkey also disappears-or seems to. The mischievous monkeys are up to their usual tricks in this second rhythmic counting book about their disappearances-and surprise reappearances.
This book is great for children to teach them the numbers 1-5 and also to teach them rhyme. I like it so much more than Five Little Monkeys Jumping on a Bed because it is filled with awesome illustrations and it is something different for the kids to listen to.
This is a cute link that shows what you can have your students do while singing this song. It gets them to use their fine motor skills and have a great time learning!
