Altoona Baboona
Altoona begins her journey in search of adventure, but a little lost loon-a and a jazzy racoon-a help her find something even better.
"The colorful, digital pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations add humorous details, e.g., the bored expression on the baboon's face at the beginning of the journey and the essential supplies she takes along (bananas, a trunk, sunglasses, and a camera). In the last picture, Altoona and her new friends are joyously roasting marshmallows over a campfire. An enjoyable romp." -- School Library Journal

"Altoona Baboona / flicks peas with a spoon-a. / She dances all night / and sings songs to the moon-a." And that's not all. She gets bored on her dune-a and takes to the skies in her hot air balloon-a! Her real adventures begin when she flies south to Cancun-a, blows east to Rangoon-a, and picks up a couple of new friends along the way. Children will revel in the silly read-aloud rhyme and sketchy, colorful, detail-rich baboona cartoon-a in Janie Bynum's buoyant flight of fancy. -- Karin SnelsonProduct Details
