Little Chimp's Big Day — Lisa Schroeder

In the jungle, in a tree Sits a little chimpanzee. Mother said she'd be right back But now the branch snaps with a crack... And in a SNAP, Little Chimp is off on a big adventure-taking a watery ride atop a hippo, swinging on vines, and munching bunches of bananas. But as he goes bumping, jumping, and racing across the jungle, he never stops wondering: "Where could Mother be?" Little Chimp may not know, but sharp-eyed kids will see that mommy has an eye on him all the time! An enchanting text filled with rhythm and rhyme, and sweetly charming illustrations.
