Watching Mama Du carefully pays off - little Okomi makes a tool out of a twig, and learns to "fish" for a tickly tidbit!

Based on the actual observations by Dr. Jane Goodall of young chimpanzees. Published in association with The Jane Goodall Institute, this is the seventh 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.
