One funky monkey by Stacey McCleary, illustrated by Sue Degennaro

What can I say? This is one cute counting book! From one funky monkey to ten elegant elephants, a conga line of animal toys dance and jive their way around a top shop at night.
The illustrations are delightful, as the animals are spotlighted by the monkey’s torch. Great to read aloud to small and large groups.
