Bookroo's summary

Sam's bedtime is a circus with his lively toy monkeys causing chaos. As questions and antics delay sleep, Sam faces the challenge of calming his energetic companions. Can he find a way to settle the monkeys and drift into dreamland? Discover a playful yet effective bedtime routine in this delightful tale.

From the publisher

A hilarious story that shows kids that they can get themselves to sleep at bedtime!

Sam is never ready to go to sleep at bedtime. There are always more questions to ask Mama, more books to read . . . not to mention the monkeys! Sam’s rambunctious trio of toy monkeys would much rather jump on the bed and make up songs about ping pong than go to sleep.

Eventually Sam wants to go to sleep. But how will he ever get the monkeys to settle down?

This story’s silly monkey mayhem also includes a calming bedtime routine that really works.
