Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed is a classic children’s rhyme and song that tells the playful and humorous story of five young monkeys who jump on a bed despite being told not to by their mother. One by one, each monkey falls off the bed and bumps their head, prompting the mother to call the doctor. Each time, the doctor instructs, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!" However, the little monkeys continue jumping until all of them have fallen off.
The rhyme's repetitive and rhythmic structure makes it easy for children to sing along, and the humorous storyline engages young listeners while subtly reinforcing lessons about listening and safety. Often, the rhyme is accompanied by playful illustrations showing mischievous monkeys, an exasperated mother, and a concerned doctor, making it a staple in early childhood storytelling and education.
