Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed is a storybook version of the classic children's song. The story doesn't deviate from the song, but adds well-done illustrations and humor to the story without taking too many liberties. Users can have the story read to them via a narrated version, can read it themselves, or have the book read and pages turned automatically (essentially a movie-like presentation of the book). Words are highlighted as the narrator reads them, and children can touch anything on screen and have it identified. The app does aggressively promote other books, however, which could run up the bill for parents.
