PS
Gorilla Doris is embarrassed when she's called a baby for carrying Frankie, her special blankie (a problem many readers will understand). She experiments--unsuccessfully--with leaving him behind and disguising him; then, in a clever resolution, Doris stumbles upon a way to make Frankie cool ("Ooh! Is that a puppet?!"). Amusing illustrations of toddler-looking jungle animals are full of emotive details.
