Review
Ten little monkeys swinging on a vine are quickly reduced to nine when one finds a water hole (headfirst!), then eight when they play out till late (and one meets a crocodile), then seven, six, five, all the way down to one in this bouncy, whimsical counting book. The most intriguing element in the big tall book is the giant pop-up tree that remains upright throughout the story. Readers hang 10 paper monkeys (provided inside a clear plastic window on the cover) from vines on the tree, then remove them one by one as each meets his or her jungle fate. The lurking perils include a sleeping tiger, a prickly bush, a large, green snake, and an easily annoyed elephant. But are these nine calamity-prone primates really gone for good, or will the last remaining one swing again with his playmates? Jonathan Lambert's visible brush strokes and bright colors are reminiscent of Eric Carle's illustrations (Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?), with silhouetted backgrounds to tell their own part of the story. The paper monkeys and pop-up tree are not sturdy enough to withstand a lifetime of abuse, but they should stand strong long enough to get readers off to a great start in counting. (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
From Publishers Weekly
Youngsters can place 10 monkeys on the 3-D pop-up tree that springs up from the paper-over-board book Ten Little Monkeys: A Counting Storybook by Keith Faulkner, illus. by Jonathan Lambert. Starting with "Ten little monkeys swinging on a vine" they count down to "One little monkey missing all his friends," removing monkeys as they go. Bright, bold brushtrokes convey the primates' comical mishaps, such as one monkey landing on a porcupine, along the way.
