You've got this Little Pangolin

Kúyé is a baby pangolin living with his mama in the Nigerian rainforest. He is impatient to grow up and doesn’t want to wait for his mother to teach him important pangolin skills such as climbing trees, hanging on branches and digging for termites. He especially wants to be able to make himself into a ball the way he has seen others do, but no matter how hard he tries, he just can’t manage it. When danger strikes, and his mother comes to the rescue, he realises there are times when he still needs her help and guidance.

This is an appealing story about the impatience of the young to grow up and the protection and care parents provide.  Look out for details in the attractive illustrations such as the predator lurking behind a tree.

The book includes interesting information about pangolins such as what they eat, how they move and protect themselves from danger and is dedicated to the Pangolin Crisis Fund.
