Combined with the colorful illustrations that capture these silly monkeys and their antics so well, this is a book that will work well for toddlers up through elementary school aged readers. The rhyming text adds some listening fun as the book is told in refrain. Children will empathize with the desire to catch sight of Santa and the difficulty sleeping with all the excitement of Christmas. What I loved: This was a cute and silly story about the monkeys trying to see Santa on Christmas Eve night. After all these antics, they fall asleep - but that is when Santa comes! Will they catch a glimpse of him before he leaves?

It turns out to be just a branch, but their ladder blows over and they are trapped! How will they get back inside? Through the chimney, of course. Once again, the monkeys go to check, climbing into the roof. Next, they hear a scratching on the roof. Then, they hear a noise down the hall with someone in the bathroom - but this time it's just their mother. The five little monkeys are having trouble sleeping - they cannot wait for Santa! When they hear a noise in the kitchen, they go to check if it is Santa - but it is just Grandpa, who sends them back to bed with a cookie.
