Five Little Monkeys Bake a Birthday Cake

A parent might reach for this book when their child is buzzing with birthday excitement and wants to 'help' in the kitchen, or when the family just needs a good laugh. This story follows the five little monkeys as they secretly try to bake a surprise birthday cake for their mother. Their teamwork quickly devolves into a hilarious, kitchen-trashing mess, complete with bizarre ingredients and a call to the fire department. Perfect for ages 2 to 5, the book uses the familiar rhythm of the 'Five Little Monkeys' rhyme to tell a silly, warm-hearted story about family love and how the thought behind a gift is what truly matters, even if the gift itself is a disaster.
