Five little monkeys may be bored but Mama monkey has things for them to do!
Grandma is coming for a visit and the house needs cleaning. The little monkeys are asked to tidy their room, scrub the bathroom, beat the rugs and pick berries for dessert.
The poor little monkeys soon realize that all their hard work is easily undone when they run from picking berries to quickly get ready for Grandma’s arrival!
