Join best friends Monkey and Elephant on their fifth and final adventure, in which they attempt to do something they’ve never done before: babysit!

When Monkey’s cousin MeeMee tells Monkey and Elephant she needs someone to watch her three babies for an afternoon, the two friends volunteer. But Monkey and Elephant don’t quite know what to expect. Will babysitting be hard? Will they need some rules? Will they be any good at it? And when some old baddies show up, will the two babysitters know what to do? Beginning readers will recognize the conflicting feelings that come with trying new things even as they delight in the antics of this unlikely pair of friends.

Carole Lexa Schaefer is the author of many acclaimed books for children, including Down in the Woods at Sleepytime, illustrated by Vanessa Cabban, and the first four books about Monkey and Elephant. Carole Lexa Schaefer lives on Camano Island, in Washington State.

Galia Bernstein was born and raised in Israel and is a graduate of Parsons The New School for Design. She is the illustrator of many books for children, including the first four Monkey and Elephant books. Galia Bernstein lives in Brooklyn, New York.
