Sometimes We Think You Are a Monkey

Baby-Toddler—Sure to be the next go-to favorite for new baby gifts, this is the beautiful story of adults comparing the instinctual behaviors of a variety of animals to the actions of a human baby. Babies move their arms much like little monkeys climbing trees. Babies also stretch in the sun like furry little kittens and enjoy bath time like little turtles. This is a sweet selection for parents to share with their young children and teachers to read to young students. Children listening can try to figure out who the narrators are describing. They will be tickled by each and every animal featured and giggle at the mention of their unique characteristics. The adorable animal paintings are bold and cheerful, very appealing and inviting. The contrast of the color choices is crisp, clear, and bright, simply perfect for the preschool set. The details in each illustration, such as the curl of a puppy's fur, give the book a warm and cozy feel.
