If You’re Cheeky and You Know It! is a new take on an old rhyme/song. It takes a familiar rhyme/song and introduces a range of cheeky animals. It begins with a monkey and adds a new animal each opening. A cheeky monkey is joined by a penguin, frog, hippo and more, and they frolic through the pages. Illustrations are mostly set in white space although there are also full bleed spreads. Text bops around the spreads.

If You’re Cheeky and You Know It! offers the opportunity to add some silliness to your life and to the reading experience. The rhythm, illustrations and bouncing text make it almost impossible to just read – singing and joining in is almost mandatory. Young listeners will enjoy mimicking the actions portrayed. A fun experience for pre- and early-schoolers.
