No More Monkeys Jumping On The Bed
And other things the Doctor never said
The children's book that encourages
"Risky Play!"
Rudi Gesch
Is a husband, a father of three, and is fulfilling a dream of becoming a children's author. No More Monkeys is the result of his son Arlo's incessant jumping off of any surface possible and of refining the classic children's rhyme over a period of multiple years. Rudi and his lovely wife Stephanie live in Sheboygan, Wisconsin USA with their three monkeys.
No More Monkeys Jumping On The Bed
And other things the Doctor never said
The children's book that encourages
"Risky Play!"
When parents ask kids to stop jumping or running or playing, we're inadvertently stopping them from doing the best thing for them developmentally.
"No More Monkeys is beloved by both children and grown ups. The fun rhymes, familiar story, and immersive illustrations will draw your child in. The moral of the story will encourage you to become the champion of your child's play!"
Dr. Peter Gray
Dr. Peter Gray is a world renowned researcher professor of psychology at Boston College. He is an international expert on the topic of play and its importance to children's development and learning. He is a founding member and president of the Alliance for Self Directed Education.
A book of particular inspiration to No More Monkeys, Dr. Gray has written Free to Learn, an amazing book that we highly recommend. Not only has Dr. Gray written the foreward for No More Monkeys, he makes an illustrated cameo!

Our Illustrator
We are thrilled to have Bekah Grace Illustration as our illustrator! Bekah's super cool style and ability to illustrate both humans and animals so beautifully make her a perfect partner to help us tell our story. It has been a blast collaborating with her- even if she frequently spells words like "favourite" incorrectly. Plus, she was born in Wisconsin, so you know that she's trustworthy!
