Mimi's Book of Opposites

(4) PS In Counting, monkey Mimi and her grandmother spend the day counting objects from one through ten. In Opposites, Mimi uses opposites to describe her baby brother's day ("He gets DIRTY all DAY, / but he gets CLEAN at NIGHT"). There's nothing original here, but Clark's domesticated primates, who live in the tropics in houses filled with plants and floral motifs, are endearing. [Review covers these titles: Mimi's Book of Counting and Mimi's Book of Opposites.]
