Little Sibu

An Orangutan Tale

By Grindley, Sally & Butler, John J.

Publishers Summary:
Little Sibu, an orangutan, lives happily with his mother Hati and little sister Baka in tropical rainforest, swinging through the treetops and eating fruit. Yet when he turns seven years old, Little Sibu must learn to make his way in the world alone, as all male orangutans must. Sally Grindley's portrayal of orangutan life is factual, while the illustrations of rainforest life by John Butler are vivid and accurate. LITTLE SIBU can make the endangered orangutan - and its equally endangered rainforest habitat - accessible to young readers.
