The day before school starts, Mama takes her five little monkeys shopping for clothes. “Stay right here,” she says, “AND DON'T GO WANDERING OFF!” But one little monkey has to go to the bathroom . . . and two little monkeys get thirsty. . . . Then three little monkey friends arrive . . . and four little monkeys decide to go help find the others. . . . Will Mama ever have all five of her little monkeys together again?
