Helen- The only book I know is So Say the Little Monkeys by Nancy Van Laan. However, that book was written in the 90’s. It is based on a Brazilian folktale but I couldn’t find an older version of it.

I love children’s books,too. I have a 4 year old grandson and we love reading to each other.
There is this one story I read when I was little. I don’t know the name of the book. It was about some little monkeys who played all day long in the sunshine, and every night it would rain they would say that they were going to build them a house the next day. But every day when the sun was shining they played and forgot about the house until it started to rain again each night. No one
seems to have heard or read this
book. Have you?????

I loved Remy Charlip’s “Mother Mother I feel sick, send for the Doctor, quick quick quick.” From 1966 and still in our catalog. Bernard Waber wrote one called “Nobody is Perfick” that my family loved. We still have our Scholastic paperback copy at my parents’ house.

Actually, according to many sellers of used children’s books, 1980 is vintage. So that should make you feel even better!
