Portland author Lisa Schroeder will be here to read from her newest picture book, Little Chimp's Big Day! Schroeder is also the author of books for teens and adults. Come join us for this very special storytime as part of our 1 Year Anniversary celebration.
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.
