About

From the bestselling duo Bill Martin Jr and Dr. Michael Sampson comes a hilarious, high-energy romp, featuring colorful, bold illustrations by up-and-coming artist Brian Won.
Sleepy little monkey won't get out of bed. Mama called the Doctor and the Doctor said:"Apple Juice, Orange Juice, Gooseberry Pies --Monkey needs some exercise!"Sleepy little monkeys everywhere will clap, stomp, shake, and cheer -- while chanting this rhythmic, energetic dance song based on a popular playground game. And as they move their heads, hands, hips, and feet -- everyone will be bursting with clapping energy -- and ready to start a new day!With humor, high energy, and Bill Martin Jr's trademark rhythm and rhyme, young readers will learn to name parts of the body. And the book makes a perfect exercise warm-up to start off a busy day of school! Praise for Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr, illustrated by Lois Ehlert:"This nonsense verse delights with its deceptively simple narrative and with the repetition of such catchy phrases as 'skit skat skoodle doot.''' --Publishers WeeklyPraise for Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr, illustrated by Eric Carle:"It's a terrific book for teaching colors and...it's a high-interest, beginning reader with rhythm, repetition, and predictability." --BooklistPraise for Hooray for Hat! by Brian Won:"Won's expressively posed animal figures and the spare narrative are placed on white backgrounds that both brighten the colors and give each scene a clean, spacious look. Moreover, the repeated chorus endows the episode with storytime-friendly rhythm and predictability. A tip of the hat to this buoyant debut." --Booklist"The artwork, done in a pastel palette, is appealing and playful, and the heritage of Mary Blair can be seen in the spreads...This lighthearted story revels in the small acts that make life better -- cheers all around." --Kirkus Reviews Brian Won is an illustrator and art director.
