Because Little Monkey never listens, he gets into big trouble.
Quick Summary
If you've got a little one who loves silly, fast-paced stories, this one's a winner. Little Monkey is the type of character kids immediately recognize he just won't listen, no matter what his mom tells him, and of course that lands him in one hilarious scrape after another. The AR level of 3.0 makes it a solid fit for early readers who are getting the hang of chapter books, and at under 1,000 words it's short enough that kids can actually finish it in one sitting without losing interest. Parents will appreciate that it naturally opens up conversations about listening and following directions, but it never feels preachy the humor carries the day. It's a great pick for kids who enjoy books like "David Goes to School" or any story about mischievous characters who learn lessons the hard way. If your kid loves animals, mischief, or just a good laugh, they'd likely ask for this one again.
