Schaefer, Carole Lexa

Big Little Monkey

(3) PS Illustrated by Pierre Pratt. Little Monkey wakes up too early. His family sleeping, he decides he's big enough to explore the jungle alone in search of companionship. Though Little Monkey has adventures visiting Steady Sloth, Proud Parrot, and Sly Boa, Schaefer reassuringly shows that growing up doesn't mean outgrowing one's family. Pratt paints the lush jungle setting in thick, wide acrylic-paint strokes.
