Sweet book!

Wonderful, precious book. I got it as a baby gift and love the one that I read to my daughter and son!

Even babies love it

My 18 month old loves this book. He just stares and points at the pictures. This is a sweet story for any child who loves his mama.

In this simple, rhyming tale a young chimpanzee tells of the love, protection, and caring his mother bestows upon him. In addition, Mama is "quite inventive, strong, and brave, and very attentive." In return, the chimp loves his mama: "She is the twinkle in my eye, my heart's pitter-patter . . . my star in the sky." The illustrations, done in oil pastels and colored pencils, are outstanding. A plethora of lush greens, blues, and browns flow off the pages, making the jungle scenes and the animals come alive. Each double-page spread contains a phrase or a sentence in big, bold type. An excellent choice for story time. Perfect also for Mother's Day. Reviewed by the Education Oasis Staff
