Baboon

by Kate Banks
Georg Hallensleben

Read a sample Read a sample
Mother takes her child into the great forest. "So the world is green," the young baboon says. "Some of it," his mother replies. As they travel into the forest, Baboon tries to learn from what he sees: the world is slow because a turtle takes so long to pass; a crocodile opens his mouth wide, and the world seems hungry.

A baby baboon meets the complexities of the world in this deceptively simple story. As they progress into the forest, Baboon tries to hold on to the truths he thinks he has learned. When a gazelle dashes past, Baboon sees that the world can be fast, and when he spies a monkey in a tree, he realizes that although many creatures in the world are different from him, there are some that are like him, too. In a reassuring yet uncompromising manner, Banks opens young children's eyes to the message that there is more to their universe than they might know or understand. The chunky artwork, executed in jungle hues, features strong central images that work exceptionally well for the age group.
