Fun adaptation of the song "10 little monkeys jumping on the bed". Each number is a different child imagination, from ninjas to pirates to astronauts. I thought it was funny how the papa always called someone who was always the mama-but at least the papa is in this version. At the end 10 little children are asleep in their bed. The illustrations are well done, and the text has excellent rhythm. You can read this, chant it, or sing it and the words will follow the tune without being awkward. Most children will have no problem sitting for the entire book, but if you have a particularity squirmy one you can easily start at number 5 (or whatever) and read to the end. That makes it an excellent choice for story times.
