Little Chimp's Big Day by Lisa Schroeder, illustrated by Lisa McCue



2010/24 pgs

About the Book: A little chimp falls to the jungle floor when a branch breaks off his tree. He can't see his mother anywhere, but decides to explore the jungle and has an adventure filled day.

Sarah Teenlibarian Says: Little Chimp is so cute so of course I would love his story just from the cover! Plus, I'm a sucker for books with chimps!

Little Chimp explores the jungle and while he can't find his mother, she's never far off. Part of the fun of reading this one aloud to younger readers is having them point out where Mama Chimp is-she's always visable to the reader, although at times she may be hiding and a bit harder to find. This part of the book makes it a very interactive read.

Little Chimp meets various jungle animals throughout the day and makes new friends. Of course, in the evening, he's reunited with his mother. A sweet book that would be good for storytimes.
