100 Hungry Monkeys!

Very cute book for children learning how to count up to 100. Each page is full of fun monkeys to count. Greta way to learn number My five year old loves it!

Better for a lap read than a whole class read.

See, now THIS is how you do a "100 counting" book for kids! It's not a 1-100 counting book per se because there are 100 monkeys on every page, but it's fantastically fun to read. Every page is full of little extras the reader can find (monkeys wearing silly hats or doing silly things, various fish, flowers, puzzles, etc.). Of course the book can still be enjoyed without finding all the extras. It's a cute story about 100 hungry monkeys who find food, escape a monster, befriend said monster, have a party and go to sleep.All the extra details on each page makes it a fun book for kids to read again and again, and it also makes it a book that children of many ages can enjoy.I recently reviewed another book, 100 Bears, and everything that that book was missing, this book has.Magda's Take:"I loved 100 Hungry Monkeys! It was so good and so funny!"Magda had a lot of fun spotting all the monkeys doing silly things, but the digital review copy we received could only be viewed one page at a time (instead of as a two-page spread) so I think we'll both enjoy it even more when we get our hands on a print copy (I can't wait!).For more of my reviews (and my daughter Magda's!) please visit my blog, Cozy Little Book Journal.

If your kids like to search for things (kind of like in Where's Waldo) or do lots of counting, then give this book a try. The illustrations are really fun and energetic, and each page spread has a small section of things to look for. The monkeys also encourage lots of interaction by asking kids to find things on the page or count stuff. Each page is loaded with 100 monkeys as they all go through an adventure together. It's pretty funny, and kids will love searching, counting, and reading the monkeys' commentary along the way.

Excellent for 2 year old interested in learning to play I spy. Tons of stuff on every page and not too difficult.

100 Hungry Monkeys by Masayuki Sebe was an adorable children’s book. Not only was the story about the monkeys entertaining and enjoyable, but the extra things to do on each page makes this book extra special. My 5 year old granddaughter wants to try to find everything that’s asked of her and she loves doing it over and over again. That’s how I know she loves this book. The writing was age appropriate and and the illustrations were quite cute. I would recommend this book to any adult who wants to read a story to their child that will hold their attention and make them laugh. You can’t ask for more than that from a children’s book.
