Summary: This is a cute Christmas book featuring the five little monkeys from the series of books
with the same name. The five little monkeys want to see Santa in person. They creep around their
home to check on noises they hear that must be Santa but, instead, always turn out to be family
members. When they bump into their Grandpa and then their Mama both tell the monkeys that
"Santa won't come while you're still awake." Of course, they find it hard to sleep when they are on
their mission to find Santa! They have other small adventures in their quest to find Santa to no avail
until they do finally fall asleep. Then they wake up just in time to catch a glimpse of Santa as he is
leaving their home. The story is fun and cute and the Christmas theme should be popular with the
Pre-K and early elementary aged child. The adventures of the five little monkeys will be especially
enjoyable to children who are familiar with the series.
Straight Talk for Librarians: The book is a cute Christmas story for very young children. It is not
super exciting but will probably be popular with children who enjoy the Five LIttle Monkeys books.
Other Christmas books may be more interesting and even more fun.
