Spunky Little Monkey

(3) PS Illustrated by Brian Won. A sleepy monkey becomes a happy, active youngster with some vigorous exercise. Meant to inspire kids to get moving (per Sampson's note) and told in rhyme (a variation of the "Down Down Baby" clapping game), the simple text has a nice rhythm, with energetic sound and action words ("Ding-Dong"; "Stomp! Stomp!"); appealing digital art shows Monkey and other animals boogeying across bright backgrounds.
