"Beautiful illustrations take the reader on a fun orangutan adventure in this children's book by Rita Goldner. The story follows a young orangutan and his mother as their day unfolds. We see them in their nest in the rainforest canopy, searching for food, and encountering other animals in the forest, both friend and foe. This book makes learning fun!"
