The Clever Monkey Rides Again

How very clever. No need to monkey around with this resource. Rob Cleveland's version of the West African tale, "The Clever Monkey Rides Again," is used as the basis for multiple of cross-curricular activities including exercises in syllabication, rhyming words, number sequencing, measurement, skit making, matching beginning sounds, and syntax. Zounds!
