Book: Goodnight Me by Andrew Daddo.
Activity: Orangutan School
Stretch out arms.
Hug your baby (Orangutan mothers carry their babies around with them just like human mothers).
Climb a tree.
Swing through the trees (Orangutans spend almost all their time in trees).
Grab fruit from the treetops. (We placed pictures of foods orangutans like to eat around the room and had kids look for the pictures).
