I bought these to go along with the "Five Little Monkeys" book (Five Little Monkeys Storybook Treasury) for story/circle time with a group of 5 year old autistic boys.  They love them.  It's a nice change from pictures attached with Velcro.  We make up our own versions of the story where the monkeys jump on  a truck, on our heads , on a chair.  Not all stuffed toys have been a success.  For some reason some stuffed dogs with puppies in their mouths were a fail and a few kids let me know by saying "no" "no dog".  I think it is the clear and recognizable match with the book that makes these little guys fun.
