LITTLE MONKEY LOST

 Little Monkey never knew there were so many other kinds of monkeys in the jungle until the day he hopped on a lily pad. In no time he’s floated down the river far from home and his mama! There are all kinds of strange and exotic monkeys in this part of the jungle, and they teach Little Monkey all sorts of wonderful things, like howling and hugging and swinging from vines. But none of them know the way home. How will Little Monkey ever get back to his troop?

 

A Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Selection

 

“With animals that look like they will pop off the pages, and foliage so lush one can almost feel the humidity, DuQuette’s naturalistic illustrations will take readers deep into the heart of the jungles of South and Central America. A lovely tale on its own, and a good springboard for discussing “what if . . . ” with young children.”
