116 FBGT: Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed Traditional Cache

Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word. ... Even after children learn to read by themselves, it's still important for you to read aloud together.

As a parent, teacher, and grandparent – I have found no greater pleasure in life than READING. Reading aloud to students, children, and now grandchildren provides an opportunity to STOP in your busy life and pick up a book and give time to books. The trail’s last 25 books are Isla’s and Teaghan’s favorite books that Nannie and their mother reads to them often.

FBGT: Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
By Eileen Christelow
Extending the well-known song, this picture book features five little monkeys preparing for bed, as they bathe, put on their pajamas, brush their teeth and then jump on the bed, falling off one-by-one. Kids will enjoy the repetition and rhyming, and parents will totally relate to the exhausted mama monkey.
