As the monkeys fall one by one, readers will learn about counting, wondering about the whereabouts of the monkey that was previously perched at the end of the branch. Five Little Monkeys Sitting in a Tree is a great introduction to reading, with simple lyrics complemented by vibrant illustrations that young readers will treasure and want to read over and over and over again.     web reviews   Lori West/2009 for curled up with a good kid's book   For grown-up fiction, nonfiction and speculative fiction book reviews, visit our sister site Curled Up With a Good Book (www.curledup.com)
