"Grandma plucks Little Lemur's bugs
and squeezed him tight in furry hugs.
Grandpa joins them. Together they sit,
facing the sun, warming a bit."
This playful, rhyming book allows readers to see the love and comfort provided by every member of Little Lemur's family. It begins with Mama who 'nuzzles and nurses' him. Papa plays with him. Grandma and Grandpa wrap him securely in their love.
Tugging his tail is how Sister shows her affection, even though she causes a tiny bit of pain which results in some wailing. Brother arrives quickly to soothe and wrestle with Little Lemur. Auntie encourages the troop to dance with him. Uncle shares his lunch. Cousins chase and tease until he is caught tentatively hanging from a high branch. Mama to the rescue!
It is easy to see Little Lemur has captured the love and attention of every member of the family. At the end of a long day, the troop huddles protected from the rain. Lemur is quick to share his love with everyone gathered.
Warm, expressive images create a setting a full day of action for this family love story. The final page provides a list of facts about lemurs.
