Summary
A simple, rhythmic text and bold, colorful pictures reveal the story of a baby baboon's first visual experiences in the vast world around him and create a literary and visual parallel for children who are venturing into worlds of their own. Jr Lib Guild.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
On his first trip into the world, a baby baboon meets a very slow turtle and concludes that the world is slow. But then, as his mother takes him farther afield, he sees much more: he watches a hungry crocodile, a thundering herd of elephants, a swift gazelle, a rhinoceros. He feels the heat of a fire, the softness of grass, the warmth of the sun. Throughout the day, everything he experiences expands his understanding, and when night falls, he has seen with his own eyes that the world is a big and varied place.

With its simple, rhythmic text and bold, impressionistic jungle pictures, Baboon is a book to share with children as they explore their own new worlds.
