Akimbo and the Baboons

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by LeUyen Pham. Akimbo and his cousin help a baboon by removing wire tangled around its leg. Later, when the boys get lost, the same baboon appears to save them. Is this just a coincidence or a humanlike connection? Akimbo is an appealing character, and the African bush, shown in expressive black-and-white illustrations, makes a dramatic setting. Further information about baboons is appended.
