Children will clamor to sing and dance again and again (K-5 librarian/media specialist)
…Rhyming couplets set the tone for the lively text and vivid illustrations within a circular frame capture the antics of the curious bush babies. The story is followed by bush baby facts and a colorful glossary of the wildlife encountered in the story… PreSchool teachers, homeschoolers and parents will get a lot of mileage from this little book…
