Orangutan is a lovely illustrated book, with lots of information for young minds to discover.Don't make the mistake I made and read it on your iPhone. The text is way too small. A larger screen or a printed book is a much better choice.
Have you ever heard of an orangutan? What do you think if that word?The author, Rita Goldner, has written an exciting and informative story about the rainforest and orangutans. Orangutans mean 'person of the forest'. And, this book explores the life of a young orangutan with his mother, and his father who lives in a separate area. Because orangutans weight between 120 pounds for a female to 200 pounds for a male, they spend 50% of their day looking for food. They live in trees and leagy branches. They are always on the lookout for predators, or other animals who might want to hurt them. Once you have read this book you will understand the life of an orangutan, and the marvelous things they do.Parents and other adults will enjoy reading this book to their children. It is so informative that children will want to see one and to learn more about them. The illustrations are bright, vivid and colorful, and they add a great deal to this book. You can actually see what an orangutan looks like. This is the first children's book about orangutans I have read. It is one that I suggest for every child.Recommended. prisrob 09-24-16
Cute story of a little orangutan and his mother. Lots of fun facts about orangutans and other rainforest animals and beautiful pictures. There is a short glossary of terms at the beginning of the book as well.
This is a book that children will want to read again and again. The illustrations and complete and total works of art and the easy to understand writing contains many fun and interesting facts about life under the canopy. Highly recommended!
Being a grown-up with no kids of my own, I can only approach children's picture books - and reviewing them - a certain way. For me, they have to have artistic as well as educational merit. On those notes, Orangutan succeeded brilliantly.The story, which follows a young orangutan during his day in the rainforest, illustrates some of the activities young Orangutan takes and some of the animals - perilous and otherwise - it meets.The information relayed is very educational, but it's the illustrations, which are so colorful and vibrant that give this book its appeal. Young kids will be entranced, particularly those who love monkeys (and oh so many kids do!).
Initially tried to read this on my phone with my kids and the fonts were too small. Pulled it up on my Kindle Cloud reader on my computer and it was perfect! Lovely illustrations and my family learned a lot about orangutans! Great find! Highly recommend to parents and early educators.
Adorable children's book. Superbly illustrated! Kudo's to the artist too! A delightful bedtime story for any child. I do wish they'd made the text larger though. I had a difficult time reading it on my kindle fire. Perhaps, in the second run.. they can make a kindle friendly version.
This little book is very educational, and will encourage your child, or any child, to ask question and want to learn more. It has little "fun facts" throughout the book, and it is very colorful and entertaining. I highly recommend this book to any child.
