and#8220;NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING ON THE BED!and#8221; A sure-fire hit at story hour, this rhythmic romp is a counting lesson, too, as the five bouncy bed-jumpers bump their heads and get hauled off to the doctor one by one. Wonderful pencil and watercolor illustrations capture both the glee and the pratfalls of those misbehaving monkeys. (IRA/CBC Childrenand#8217;s Choice)
