Little Bobo Saves the Day

by Serena Romanelli, Hans de Beer

""An adorable little orangutan who falls in love with the joy of making music"", is how The Children's Book Review Service described the hero of Little Bobo. Now Bobo is back for an entertaining new jungle adventure. He still loves making music on his violin, and he's just as adorable as ever. In this story, Bobo makes a scary journey alone through the jungle at night and braves an encounter with one of the much-feared humans to find medicine for his ailing Uncle Darwin. Not only does he save the day, but he learns how to paint and finds a new (human!) friend to make music with.

Lots of good vocab practice.

Edisi bahasa Indonesia berjudul "Dodo Bermain Layang-layang", namun setelah dibaca nampaknya pemilihan judul kurang sesuai dengan isi. Judul bahasa Inggris lebih cocok dengan isi cerita : Little Bobo Saves The Day.
Yang menarik dari seri ini adalah karakter orang utan bernama Dodo. Jarang sekali orang utan dipakai sebagai karakter cerita. Ilustrasi Hans de Beer yang menawan menjadi nilai tambah buku ini.

Adorable drawings. Scary themes a bit much for Pre-K: orangutans' fear of humans making them into soup, uncle getting sick, lonely night in dark jungle...
