A mother kinkajou finds a spot in the hollow of a tree to give birth to her baby. She carefully watches over her little one for up to two weeks, until the tiny, raccoon-like animal can open its eyes. So begins the life of this jungle baby. In this coming-of-age introduction to these adorable mammals, readers will learn how kinkajou babies spend their days, how they find food, and how they can use their long and strong tail like another arm. The colorful interior spreads and gorgeous photos of kinkajou babies are sure to delight emergent readers.

Kinkajous

What is a kinkajou? Good question. As this title in the Jungle Babies of the Amazon Rain Forest series explains, a kinkajou is a small mammal, related to a raccoon, with thick fur; large, round eyes; and small ears. But perhaps the most remarkable feature of the kinkajou is its powerful tail, which is about 20 inches long—or the same length as its entire body. This small-trim title presents simple facts about the mammal, divided by spreads into categories such as “Kinkajou homes” and “A baby kinkajou,” with sentence structure and vocabulary just right for emergent readers, plus a concluding pictorial glossary. Each spread features up-close photographs, which are often unnecessarily labeled (e.g., “tail”). These guys are pretty cute, and just try stopping yourself from saying “kinkajou” over and over.
