Illustrated by
Lisa McCue.
On the lookout for his mother, Little Chimp tumbles from a tree. At first worried, he soon makes a day of playing, eating, and swinging in the jungle. All the while, watercolor and acrylic paintings show his cleverly concealed chimp mama looking out for him. The rhymes are a little trite, but the text effectively conveys the theme of growing up.
