When five little monkeys eat some ice cream and play in the mud, they become icky, sticky monkeys . . . and Mama says it´s time for a bath! But even after those silly little monkeys scrub themselves clean, they find a way to get mucky all over again. Toddlers will giggle over the wild monkey antics, rhyming refrains, and expressive, up-close monkey art in this brand-new board book.
