PS
An exasperated orangutan mother tries to keep up with her adventurous wild child. Simple patterned phrases--"Wild stretch. Wild yawn. Wild morning starts at dawn"--chronicle the pair's daily activities. Accompanying sherbet-toned illustrations depict an increasingly frazzled mother's efforts to keep her fearless baby safe. Parents will recognize Mama's range of hilariously horrified facial expressions, which will entertain young readers.
