So Say the Little Monkeys

When would a parent reach for this book? For the toddler or preschooler whose energy revs up just as you're trying to wind down for bed. This book transforms the bedtime struggle into a playful game. In the story, a mother monkey asks her two little ones what they say before sleep. Instead of monkey noises, they joyfully imitate all the jungle animals they met that day. The rhythmic, call-and-response text is perfect for ages 2-5, validating a child's need for fun while gently guiding them through a predictable routine. It's a wonderful choice for making the transition to sleep a moment of happy connection rather than conflict.
