I bought this book for my 18 month old granddaughter. She loves to be read to, and pretends to read it herself. It is a much shorter version than the regular book, but just the right amount of pages so she doesn't lose interest. She loves monkeys!
Cute story, especially for kids that love monkeys. It's not very sturdy as far as board books go, but it's ok. Heads up for non-religious parents, it does include "say your prayers" as a bed time step. We just skip that part. Perks of having 18 month olds that can't read yet! My kids only grab this book for reading every great once in a while, so not that popular in our house.
Susie Lee Jin's It's Bedtime for Little Monkeys is just as simple and cute as her Good Table Manners for Little Monkeys. This small (about 5 inch by 5 inch) board book is ideal for young children learning about routines. It begins with mama monkey calling her two children off their banana skin hammock and into the house for bedtime. They take a bath, brush their teeth, listen to a bedtime story, say prayers, give goodnight kisses, and say goodnight. "Sleep well, little monkeys, Have sweet dreams!"What I Like: The illustrations are whimsical, silly, and just plain fun for kids and parents alike. My preschooler loves both Jin's "monkey" books, even though her tastes are generally more mature. Who can resist these cute little guys?What I Dislike: Nothing.Overall Rating: Very Good.Age Appeal: According to the publisher, 4 to 8, but I'd say baby to preschool.Kristina SeleshankoChristian Children's Book Review
I was surprised on the size of this book. It is very small, and my 21 month old daughter, is accustomed to holding/viewing regular sized books. Also, the story is a little too simple. For example, only 8 pages have words which consist of, "First take a warm bath. Then put on pajamas and brush your teeth." The rest of the pages just have pictures. It is like a step-by-step instruction on how to get ready for bed, and I thought it would have more "fluff" to it.
I just received my copy of "It's Bedtime for Little Monkeys." It's just delightful! Susie Lee Jin has come up with a wonderful board book: it's fun, kid-friendly, and beautifully executed. I am sure that, in the future, Susie's work is going to be widely recognized for its clever plots and deceptively simple, charming style.It is my pleasure to heartily recommend Susie's new book for all parents with 'little monkeys' at home.[...]
My 1 year old loves with this book and asks to read it at least twice before bed. It covers the basics - brush your teeth, take a bath, read a book, say your prayers (might not want to get this book if that page would bother you), lights out, go to sleep.
My daughter (18 months old) loves this book and makes me read it to her over and over again. She like to make monkey sounds and wants me sing "twinkle twinkle little star" when she sees the stars on the first page. The pictures are adorable but I like that she is learning that there are routines that families follow. It is a great book and we hope there are more to buy soon!!
I quickly purchased this book to go with the cute stuffed animal for my nieces first birthday. I thought a stuffed toy plus book would be a great way to help her get to sleep on those more difficult nights... When I received them both, I luckily decided to read the book before putting it in her birthday gift bag with my other presents. The text in the book is so lame, unimaginative, not thought out and boring that I could not bring myself to gift it even though it matched the stuffed monkey which I still gave. Its like the author put about 10 minutes of thought into the text and then published it. Its crazy how bad it is. DO NOT BUY this book except as a coffee mog coaster and then you can still do better.
