Orangutan Houdini

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kathie Kelleher. Fu Manchu, a real-life escape artist, picks the lock on his enclosure and leads his fellow orangutans on a spree to the elephant pen. Zookeeper Jerry threatens to fire his staff until he discovers how Fu keeps doing it. The text, though occasionally infelicitous, is nonetheless highly engaging, and serviceable full-page illustrations portray Fu's exploits. An intriguing author's note considers ape intelligence.
