| Publisher Description: The Yum-Yum Tree reveals a truly sticky situation. Baby monkey has climbed up the high, spiky, sticky trunk and can't get down. Every animal has an idea for coaxing her back to her anxious mother, but the little monkey refuses to move. However, the flamingos have a cunning plan as always... The Yum Yum Tree is the third in the Five Flamingos series, featuring the same group of African jungle animals, and is a sequel to The Carnivorous Crocodile and The Mud Monster. The author's royalties will be donated in support of wildlife habitat conservation projects in Africa. |
Contributor Bio(s): Granstrom, Brita: - Brita Granstrom's illustrations have won top awards such as the Smarties/Nestlé Silver Award, and the English Association Picture Book Award (no less than five times) and she has been twice shortlisted for the ALMA (Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award). Brita's vivid memories of working as a volunteer for a flying doctor in Africa help to give authenticity as well as humour to her illustration for the 'Five Flamingos' books.Wild, Jonnie: - Jonnie Wild's interest in conservation was first stimulated by his own children's distress at learning about destruction of the rainforests. He set up the Yorkshire Rainforest project, which planted new forest trees in an Amazon area as big as Yorkshire, and now has similar projects all over the world. He works with environmental scientists at the University of Leeds, supporting collaborative research and action in conserving forest habitats for the benefit of both animals and humans. |
