Illustrated by
Stephan Britt.
An unusual ape named Norman thwarts the (brown-skinned) "junior scientist," who speaks directly to readers, as she attempts to define "normal." From his "dual-rocket jet pack" to his beloved stuffed aardvark, Norman defies expectations and ultimately inspires the narrator to be herself. The heavy-handed ending undercuts the book's effectiveness, but Britt's vividly colored illustrations mix eye-catching patterns and evoke a lively mid-century style.
