DESCRIPTION:
"Enjoyed this book." according to Alexander Calder. Cute drawings. Sure, it's a replay of 5 little monkeys. But it works, and my daughter loved it. And I enjoyed the illustrations.. We are living in a society Chuck Taine First I should say that the illustrations are fine. But the text is awful. Not only is it a ripoff of "Five Little Monkeys" but it doesn't even rhyme. Is it so much to ask for the story to rhyme?My kids like the story but they are not the most discerning.. Cute drawings but awful to read aloud if you have any sense of rhythm. I'm giving it two stars simply because I always enjoy Laura Bryant's illustrations, but reading it aloud is painful if you have any sense of rhythm. As another reviewer pointed out, it doesn't rhyme consistently. It would be fine if the author (Steve Metzger) chose to not rhyme at all, but he does try to rhyme some of the time. The rhythm (beats) of the lines also fail to follow a pattern. The second line is sometimes 10 s
The sharks bump into manatees, get stuck on the ocean floor, bang their tails, get lost playing hide-and-seek, and eat too much fish--all resulting in mother shark calling the doctor, time and time again. Taking the popular "monkeys jumping on the bed" rhyme and adding a clever undersea twist, this book will delight children of all ages!The popular "monkeys jumping on the bed" rhyme is reimagined here with sharks misbehaving. In the end, the sharks all return to health and swim happily in the sea.
