Ten little chimps should be tucked in, but the beat is too tempting. One by one, they slip away to Mambo Jamba’s, where the animal crowd is already moving: hippos hokey-pokey, meerkats macarena, and the chimps cha-cha-cha through a lively counting adventure. Each page adds music, motion, and a little bedtime mischief as the young dancers pair up and the countdown keeps rolling. Then Mama Chimp notices the empty beds. With playful rhyme, bright animal humor, and a rhythm that begs to be read aloud, Cha-Cha Chimps is a bouncy picture book for kids who enjoy counting, dancing, and laughing at a bedtime plan that gets just a bit out of hand.

Something big is happening at the Great Gorilla Villa, and King Big Daddy wants every gorilla there fast. That means a wild rush of wheels, wings, bouncing, rolling, and zooming as ten gorillas hurry from every direction. One arrives by scooter, another by taxi, another by hot-air balloon, and still others find their own wonderfully silly ways to go, go, go. The rhyming text keeps the trip moving like a chant, while each page invites readers to spot a new vehicle and another energetic member of the gorilla family. Funny, noisy, and full of motion, Go-Go Gorillas is a read-aloud picture book about transportation, counting, family excitement, and the happy chaos of gathering everyone for special news.
