    About this ebook

    Nothing says “bonding” like picking bloodsucking pests from your neighbor’s fur. Baboons of the same troop develop strong relationships this way, often beginning and ending each day with a grooming session that can last hours. Learn what baboons are up to the rest of the day in this introductory title.

      This comes from a solid series called Animal Safari that's designed for the earliest emerging readers. Quite frankly, a series on wild animals for emerging readers is just about the best thing that I could add to my shelves. This, books about pets, and books about characters from their favorite TV shows and movies are the only requests I get. I have to introduce every other part of the library to them. So when I can add more than a dozen different titles that are age-appropriate and text-apporpriate, I jump at it.

      The cover illustration on this one says it all. The inquisitive look on that baboon's face is classic. I learned that a troop of baboons could even take down an antelope on occasion. That's something to think about. Kind of disturbing. The book is good though.
