When a troop of lemurs awakes, the lemur king urges them to, “follow me, follow me, follow me,” as he leads them on an energetic exploration of the things they can do. The repetitive text reinforces this energy as it is molded around the illustrations. Their motion comes to a quick and emphatic stop when their path leads them to a large crocodile. The lemur king urges the troop to follow as he flees to safety and then finally to a much earned rest in their tree.
With its mischievous lemurs and rhythmic rhyming text, this makes a great read aloud that kids will want to read again and again.
