Read the story. Then sing the story! It isn't a secret that using songs to teach children pre-reading skills is fun and successful. This classic song is featured as a read-along and a sing-along.

After mama and the doctor finally get the little ones to stop jumping around, you'll be surprised to see what they dream...

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed: Five little monkeys say goodnight to mama, but instead of going to sleep they start jumping on the bed.
