My kids enjoyed this book 30 years ago so I bought it for my grandson who is 18 mos. This one is a smaller size, good for little hands, has no paper pages to tear, and is nice and hard for the book-nibblers. We always use a lot of enthusiastic hand play to emphasize the thumbs and drums. Really, you'll love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars All my children's favorite!

I read this book to my children when they were 1-6. I would make hand movements to match what was on the page, and of course used voice inflection. They loved it and would request this book over and over again. Now that I read to my grandchildren, it's the same response! They often request it. Book was in nice condition.

I read this book to our daughters as children (they're now 33 and 30, each with a daughter of their own)! They loved the funny monkeys and the rhythmic reading! We all loved this book and I wanted to read it to my Granddaughters. HOWEVER, for anyone looking for the "old" book and story, please be aware that this is a "SIMPLIFIED" version of the book. I was sad to see complete pages missing! ("Hello, Jack! Hello, Jake! Shake hands shake hands shake shake shake!") It wasn't there, which meant it wasn't the same story I'd read to my kids. I'll keep this version, but I've already ordered the "original" version, too.

I probably enjoyed this book more than my kids did, but they liked it too. Fun little book, fun pictures. The words stay with me to this day. "Hand picks an apple, hand picks a plum, dum-ditty-dum-ditty dum dum dum."

5.0 out of 5 stars Best baby book
Reviewed in Germany on August 11, 2022

My child likes this book best of all so far. The rhyming scheme is appealing and easy to maintain and my child sometimes claps or beats along to it. Normally when my child is placed into the play pen, this book is the first one that is handed to me to be read. My child never loses interest in this book before we have finished reading it.
