Five Little Monkeys Bake a Birthday Cake

by Eileen Christelow


The five little monkeys wake up early to bake a surprise birthday cake for Mama. One little monkey reads off the recipe while the others scatter about the kitchen collecting baking dishes and ingredients. . . "Sh-h-h! Don't wake up Mama!," they remind each other. Once the cake is in the oven, they start on Mama's birthday present. Hilarity ensues as the five little monkeys' rambunctious activities end up drawing some unexpected (but welcomed) visitors to the house.

Children and parents alike will adore this story of five clumsy but well-intentioned little monkeys that don't always get things exactly right, but always have a good time doing it!
