Product Description:
The Okomi stories are based upon real events and natural chimp behavior in the wild as observed by Dr. Jane Goodall. Dr. Goodall discovered that chimpanzee babies and their mothers play little games, such as tickling each other, that bonded them closely together. The Okomi books are based on these observations, telling simple stories covering issues of fear, playfulness, laughter, surprise, and new experiences. Young children and their parents will find the stories engaging, comforting, and even instructive, while encouraging an interest in animals and nature. In this story, Okomi has never climbed a big tree before. He sees lots of sweet, juicy leaves up there. While Mama Du watches, he tries really hard. It is very slippery. (Softcover)
