An adorable little girl and her toy monkey invite readers of this book to join them as they spend the day imitating different animals. Each page is filled with rhythmic patterned text that encourages children to chant along with the story:
Monkey and me,
Monkey and me,
Monkey and me,
We went to see,
We went to see some…
And what DID they see? The illustrations encourage you to guess by showing the pair jumping like a kangaroo or waddling like a penguin or swinging like a monkey. When you think you’ve figured it out, turn the page to reveal answer!
I’ve used this book many times with my toddler groups at storytime and they love acting right along with the characters in the book! A fun way to engage young readers…try it out with your next group!
