About This Book

The author-illustrator of The Rabbit Listened and Good Dog captures the incredible bond between parent and child with this exuberant picture book about a carefree young ape who goes barreling through the jungle…and the worried mom who must chase after. As her baby goes on a mad dash through the jungle, it’s up to mama to make sure the curious little orangutan doesn’t get into too much trouble—like dancing on a bear, bouncing on an elephant, or even pulling on a leopard’s tail.

Our Review

This exuberant jungle adventure follows a spirited young orangutan whose curiosity sends them bouncing, swinging, and dashing through a vibrant landscape. The baby's playful antics—from dancing on a bear to pulling a leopard's tail—create a delightful sequence of gentle mischief that will captivate toddlers. The simple, rhythmic text and expressive illustrations work in perfect harmony to create a fast-paced narrative that feels both exciting and safe for the youngest readers.

What truly distinguishes this board book is the tender dynamic between the adventurous baby and the ever-watchful mother who follows close behind. This subtle storytelling beautifully mirrors the push-and-pull of early independence while reassuring children of a parent's constant, loving presence. The combination of gentle humor, recognizable animal encounters, and that ultimate safe return makes this jungle romp a comforting read-aloud about exploration and security.
