Reach for this book when your child has had a high-energy day of mischief and needs a gentle reminder that their spirited behavior doesn't change how much you love them. It is the perfect antidote to a day of 'no' or 'don't do that,' shifting the focus to the humor and joy found in a busy household. While the book functions as an alphabet primer, its heart lies in the depiction of twenty-six little monkeys who turn the house upside down the moment their parents' backs are turned. From Andy's paper airplanes to Zelda's zoo-bound antics, the rhyming text and vibrant illustrations capture the exuberant chaos of childhood. It is ideal for children ages 3 to 7, offering a playful way to practice letters while validating that being a 'naughty' little monkey is just part of growing up. Parents will appreciate the final message: no matter the mess, these little ones are still their mother's angels.
