Being an Orangutan

Welcome to a life in the trees! That's what this book invites readers to imagine as they picture themselves as orangutans. These red-haired apes cling to tree limbs easily with both their hands and feet. Although most of their day is spent eating and sleeping, orangutans have some extraordinary habits, such as building new beds each night and "fishing" with tree branches. Sadly, there aren't many orangutans left. This compelling book examines why they're endangered and why it's so important to help them survive.
