Comments: My almost 4 year old son’s preschool teacher told us we should practice having our son predict what’s going to happen in books. This is a good book for that, with predictable responses from the monkeys. Our son actually guessed totally wrong each time (he didn’t find it so predictable), but after that first night he’s wanted it read almost every night for over a week.
