The five little monkeys and Mama are eager to get a new car. The five little monkeys clean and paint their old car until it sparkles like new. But who will buy it?

Lively verse and Eileen Christelow’s inimitably comic illustrations put the five little monkeys in the driver’s seat in more ways than one. This sturdy board book edition is perfect for repeat readings.

Christelow has a way with the five little monkeys...my 2 1/2 year old daughter loves each edition and this one is no exception. She enjoys the crocodiles and the trouble that the monkeys have selling their car. The illustrations are really well done. What's nice is that the ending is not scary at all and the monkeys succeed!
Mama has decided to sell their "rickety, rattletrap wreck of a car". The five little monkeys wonder how on earth they are going to sell a car that is in such bad shape. Not only is it sticky and slimy it is also smelly! What to do? First they get out the sponges and hoses and give it a good wash. That doesn't get rid of the rust though so next, out comes the paint. They work together on the paint job, creating a very colorful, kid appealing car.With the car all finished and ready, they wait for a buyer but no one comes by. What to do? Why not move it closer to the road? That's when the real fun starts as the monkey who is driving cannot see where he is going nor reach the brake! Where do they end up? In the crocodile swamp! What follows is hilarious! Those monkeys trick the crocodiles! How?Our family loves the Five Little Monkeys series. Yes, the monkeys get up to mischief and are not always obedient but their hearts are always in the right place. Just like children, they don't always think through the consequences of their actions. Read and enjoy!
The other books in the series are bigger. This one is smaller. Not a fan of that. Other than that fast shipping.Can't wait to read this book to my son! Love the series and had to get the rest for him!
We picked up this book from our local library.We love reading about the five little monkeys they are always up to something. And of course getting into a bit of trouble even though they mean well.With them washing the car, they do a really good job and at the end when they sell it for their mom how awesome is that! They find themselves to be in trouble but use their head on how to get out of it. Fun, colorful illustrations, a good read as to what is going to happen next with the monkeys!
This is yet another great book in the 5 little monkeys series. Its fun reading it to the kids and you can build in a lesson or two about how imp it is to help clean the car and use your brains on how to get out of some tight spots !
I bought a few of the Five Little Monkeys books to read to my 3 year old son. We really like them overall, however some are more engaging than others. This one is really fun to read and he loves it. The monkeys don't just wash the car. They paint designs on it and sell it to some crocodiles. Good fun story.
This book has good illustrations and a silly ending, but too wordy for my 4 year old. My 4 yr. old LOVED the 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed and we bought this thinking it would be along the same lines. Cute story overall
Eileen Christelow, Five Little Monkeys Wash the Car (Clarion, 2000)I always knew that when Eileen Christelow got away from straight nursery-rhyme retellings these Five Little Monkeys books were going to get good. This one confirms my suspicions quite nicely, as Christelow comes up with a fun plot and adds it to the usual zany antics of the monkey children. Mom wants to sell their rattletrap old car, but it looks a mess, so the kids decide to wash it. And, of course, washing it isn't quite enough, so they go farther and farther until things become entirely absurd, as they always do in Five Little Monkey-land. That is, of course, just how we like them. A fun entry in a fun series. *** ½
