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.]
