The best-selling Five Little Monkeys are getting into trouble yet again - this time while back-to-school shopping in the latest board book addition to the enormously popular series with more than 8 million books sold.

The day before school starts, Mama takes her five little monkeys shopping for new clothes. "Stay right here," she says, "AND DON'T GO WANDERING OFF!" But one little monkey has to go to the bathroom . . . and two little monkeys get thirsty. . . . Then three little monkey friends arrive . . . and four little monkeys decide to go help find the others. . . . Will Mama ever get all of her monkeys ready for school?
