Little Okomi woke up feeling playful! Going out into the forest to find breakfast with Mama Du became a great game until he was tired and hungry.

Based on the actual observations by Dr. Jane Goodall of young chimpanzees. Published in association with The Jane Goodall Institute, this is the fifth title in Dawn Publications' popular The Okomi Series.

The stories in Dawn Publications' The Okomi Series are based upon real events and natural chimp behavior in the wild as observed by Dr. Jane Goodall. Dr. Goodall discovered that chimpanzee babies and their mothers play little games, such as tickling each other, that bonded them closely together. The Okomi books are based on these observations, telling simple stories covering issues of fear, playfulness, laughter, surprise, and new experiences. Young children and their parents will find the stories engaging, comforting, and even instructive, while encouraging an interest in animals and nature.
