laura house: Our son asked if I remembered reading this book to him over and over again, many years ago, he had loved it. Of course I remembered reading it but I could not remember the title all I could remember was the monkeys in the tree. Then one day the title came to me so I ordered it from Amazon so I could give it as a gift to my son for Christmas so he could read it to his son. It is an endearing book that has children wanting to hear it over and over again.
I hope our grandson enjoys it as much as his dad did.
