Five little monkeys are bored, but their mother has them clean up the house for Aunt Bessie's visit.
When five little monkeys complain to their mother that they are bored, she suggests they clean the house because their Grandma Bessie is coming for lunch. The five little monkeys clean the entire house...but will things still be tidy when Grandma Bessie arrives? Color illustrations accompany the text.
It's summer, school is out, and the five little monkeys are bored. "There is nothing to do!" they tell Mama. "Oh yes, there is," says Mama. "Grandma Bessie is coming for lunch, and the house must be neat and clean." Well-meaning as ever, the five little monkeys clean their room and go on to sweep the floors, scrub the bathroom, and pick berries for dessert. But then . . . Children will welcome the return of the five little monkeys, who make the same kinds of messes they do.

Industry Reviews"The story, well-stocked with repetition and refrains that will make it a lively readaloud, provides an early introduction to the homemaker's perpetual lament: no sooner do you clean something that it's dirty again."Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Lisa Mahoney (12/01/1996)eBay Product ID: EPID1666553
