Barnett does it again, This book is sooooo much fun, very interactive and full of Barnett's sly humor, The illustrations by Kevin Cornell are perfect, These two make a great team,
This book is probably not good for a bedtime story, thoughthere will be much giggling and shouting and making of noise while reading this book.
Great rainy day fun. Count the monkeys look out for the snake! Breaks the fourth wall in hilarious fashion, Had my niece cracking up as she read it to me, I CAN'T FRIGGIN' WAIT TO READ THIS AT STORYTIME! Kids three and up will absolutely fall in love with this book, Audience participation abounds in another winner and new classic from Mac Barnett, I know that every child I read this to will make me count every single one of the monkeys on the final endpapers and I'm perfectly fine with that.
Barnett has crafted a well thought out concept book that will hopefully be around for many years to come, Whether you feel it should be mongooses or mongeese, I hope you fall in love with this book as much as I did.
Can you tell I love this thing Kids will have an uproarious good time counting all the monkeys throughout the pages of this book.
But wait a minute Where are all the monkeys
This book is a must for every Kindergarten teacher and must be read aloud with great gusto.
Expect kids to cause a ruckus, That's just the way this book was written, : مک بارنت اینجوریه که نه ازش خوشم میاد نه میتونم کتابهاش رو نخونم.
این کتابش به نسبت بقیه کتابهاش سادهتر و سر راستتر بود.
از اون کتابهای تعاملیه که شمارش رو هم به بچهها یاد میده. خوبه. برا بچهم بخونم. I swear, every book Mac Barnett writes doubles as a lesson plan, Think about Chloe and the Lion, Battle Bunny, and Extra Yarn for JUST ONE SECOND, On the first page of this book, a frightful cobra has scared off all the monkeys, After turning the page "very slowly, very carefully", two mongoose have scared off the snake, but still there are no monkeys,
Absolutely, positively, you can use this framework to make a book with any group of children, Felt board, white board, writing workshop pages pick the animals as a group or let everyone come up with their own, Don't forget to react everyone knows you bang pots and pans at bears, but how do you get rid of lumberjacks
THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU SUMMON THE RHINOS. This is one of those picture books for agesthat will have them interacting with the reader and giggling their way through he pages.
We never really get to counting monkeys in Let's Count the Monkeys because the book is hijacked by king cobras, mongooses or is it mongeesecrocodiles, bears and plenty of other zany folks including lumber jacks.
Along the way you'll be helping the reader by waving your arms, yelling, turning pages and generally becoming part of the story, What a great book to play WITH while you read, ۲۳ اردیبهشت
چه غیر قابل پیشبینی : باحال بود As readers prepare to count the monkeys, other animals on various pages have apparently scared them off, What's a reader to do Why, count the number of other animals on each page, of course, The text and illustrations invite enthusiastic reader response, for instance, readers are cautioned to move slowly when they turn the page so they can slip past the king cobra on the first page.
Along the way to ten, readers will encounter seven wolves, nine lumberjacks, but not one single, solitary monkey, Apparently, they've all fled to the endpapers, I enjoyed laughing along with this counting book and the clever concept behind it, The reader is invited to count the animals that have frightened the monkeys off the pages, Abbigail My mom got this for my kids and we all love itand Mom has decided she needs to get it for her school library.
While counting can occur, and you can count some monkeys if you really try, the real fun of this book is all the crazy animals and people who make counting the monkeys difficult.
year old was all ready to count some monkeys, This book kept her involved but she wasn't satisfied when no monkeys showed, She did acknowledge that it's funny, The narrator invites the young reader to count the monkeys in this amusing onetoten book, but the opportunity never materializes, as a variety of other animals usurp their place.
From the 'King Cobra' who scares away the monkeys in the first place, to the 'Mongooses' who chase away the cobra, each group of animals supplants the last, until finally the reader is on the last page.
Fortunately or not, there are some monkeys cavorting on the rear endpaper, so despite the claims in the text, all is not lost.
. .
An amusing text by Mac Barnett, author of such humorous picturebooks as sitelinkBilly Twitters and His Blue Whale Problem, with plenty of narrative asides and observations, as well as instructions to the reader about various actions they should take in relation to the book, makes Count the Monkeys more than your standard numbers/counting title.
There's quite a bit of interactive fun to be had here, and I would imagine that this would make an excellent storyhour selection.
The colorful artwork by Kevin Cornell adds to the sense of humor, and the fun, Recommended to anyone looking for counting books that are a little bit
different, or for children's stories with an interactive element, in which children are prompted to respond, both physically and verbally, to the text.
This interactive book was so much fun to use as a library read aloud with preschoolers and Kinder kids, It is the type of book that has them excitedly sharing their version of Count the Monkeys with their families, The secret is to pretend, you as the reader, have not seen the last page of the book where the monkeys finally turn up.
It is hysterically funny and a must have in a library collection, Perfectly paced, with welljudged invitations for participation nothing too extreme, nothing you can't do sitting down together on a couch or in storytime that also make sense with the story quietly turn the page away from the cobra whistle and smile so the bees don't think you're afraid.
Awesome body and facial expressions on the characters,
I love how it starts off with a pretty strong connection from page to page monkeyscobramongooses then page by page its grip on reality becomes a little more tenuous.
In terms of tone and voice it reminds me a lot of An Undone Fairy Tale high praise, in our house, And I especially love the understanding and respect for the young audience that DID put the monkeys SOMEWHERE in the book, Big kids would get the joke if there weren't any monkeys, . . little kids need that payoff and resolution,
Read it just for fun to myyo, then she requested that we read it the next night too, . . I think this one is going to have true allages appeal, I would never have thought a counting book could be this entertaining, Bright, fun drawings, a funny story, and even audience participation!
A great story to read aloud, with lots of things to draw kids in and make them active participants! این کتاب ها بمونه به یادگار برای من آینده که همین الان ساعت دو صبح سی و یکم آگوست متوجه شد یک سپتامبر داره میره مصاحبه و از زور استرس خوابش نمیبره و هرچقدر بخواد بازم نمیتونه زندگی رو بزنه جلو ببینه ادامه اش چی میشه پس فقط باید صبر داشته باشه و و این وسط با کتاب های بچگانه سن صفر: خودش رو آروم کنه
امیدوارم من آینده برگرده و این رو ببینه و جای بهتری باشه.
. . Well, they're Brown Bears, not Grizzly Bears, but nevermind, Great silly fun. Good fit with Disney/Hyperion publishing, Lumberjacks do like their pancakes! Good reread value as the illustrations have lots of contextual details that are fun to discover, Richie's Picks: COUNT THE MONKEYS by Mac Barnett and Kevin Cornell, ill, Disney Hyperion, June,p. , ISBN:
"Hey, kids! Time to count the monkeys! It's fun, It's easy. All you have to do is turn the page, . . and COUNT THE MONKEYS"
Houston, we've got a problem, Where the heck did all the monkeys go
"I don't know why
You should want to hide"
Lennon/McCartney, "You Won't See Me"
Err.
. . I thought that this book was supposed to be about monkeys, But something has seriously gone wrong here,
"YIKES!KING COBRA has scared off all the monkeys, Turn the page very slowly, very carefully so he doesn't notice us, "
"LOOK!MONGOOSES have chased away that cobra! Or is thatMONGEESE I am pretty sure it isMONGOOSES, Let's vote. Raise your hand if you think it's mongooses, Now raise your hand if you think it's mongeese, Interesting. Turn the pageI bet the monkeys will come back, "
School librarians You'd best warn your principal before attempting reading this book to any classes, Same goes for you preschool teachers who'd better warn your director, That's because COUNT THE MONKEYS is the audience participation book of the year, and it might get a little bit noisy in there.
By time we get to theLUMBERJACKSafter counting the crocodiles, grizzly bears, bee swarms, sweet old beekeepers, and wolves "Wolves and grandmas never get along!" who have each, in turn, scared one another off, and after following the story narrator's directions that steadily work their way up to banging pans together and highfiving each otherthe audience will be screaming at those lumberjacks to SCRAM!!!
And you REALLY dont want to know what happens when the page turns bring us to numbersandin this crazy rompofatale.
But this is one thatdespite the apparent lack of monkeys Where DID those monkeys gowill no doubt result in loud calls for repeat performances.

Fabulous!! A hilarious twist to your typical counting book, Wonderful illustrations. Humor abounds, begging for me to do this in preschool storytime, I am a definite fan of Mac Barnett's books,
Perfect for "That's Crazy" theme, I used it to end off, with "Little Monkeys" as leadin song and a Monkey worksheet, I think because the crowd got a little bigger they weren't able to see the details as much, But they still got the humor, The kids didn't pick up that what I was asking them was part of the book, but the adults did and they loved that.
: I had this as an option during the Morningside school visits that I did this week, I read it in classes covering grades K, Very well received, thought thend grade class seemed the least to get it, Odd that.
: Closer in preschool "Silliness" theme, One girl was an avid monkey lover, and looked forward to this book the entire storytime, So we sangLittle Monkeys beforehand to prep, And they ADORED it. So many laughs. Loved getting involved. And their smiles when I showed the end papers, I love this book.
Used in Movement storytime, They really liked it. Kids will giggle as they count all the animals that have frightened the monkeys off the pages, Full of fun reader interactions and keeps readers guessing until the very last page! Matching Mac Barnett's brilliant wit are Kevin Cornell's luminous illustrations, which will have young readers begging to count the monkeys all over again.
This is a book that just begs to be read aloud, it is so funny and interactive, And I think the more kids the merrier, I can just imagine the giggles spreading, the glances exchanged! It is silly, good fun and I quite enjoyed it.
Best read aloud book of the year! Lots of laughs! I have found another favorite picture book author!
I watched Mac Barnett's TED talk "why a good book is a secret door" and was so impressed that I had to find some of his books to read.
Count the Monkeys is a very fun amp silly book, GREAT humor and illustrations, It is interactive, giving the child something to do before he/she turns every page, "cover your eyes while you turn the page" etc, And dont forget, you and the child get to count things!
Clever and colorful, If you or your kid enjoy Jon Scieszka, then you'll like Mac,
Victoria
