Graham Learns to Listen - Paperback

by Meg Boxall (Author)

The Sumatran jungle is noisy today. There are hoots and squawks, peeps and howls. All of the animals are being so loud. The birds, frogs and gibbons are in the trees and the streams, enjoying the sound of their own voices. But Graham the orangutan is not enjoying all of the noise because he is hungry and tired. He has spent the morning swinging through the treetops, and he just wants to go home for a snack and a sleep. He is getting grumpy because all of his jungle friends are being so noisy, and he cannot get to sleep. Graham's friend Julie comes to visit and reminds Graham of a special event. She invites him to listen more closely to what his friends are singing about. After Graham has lunch and a nap, he joins his friends for a wonderful time celebrating, playing, and singing. Have you felt tired and grumpy before? When you are feeling hungry, do you have a hard time concentrating? Maybe your friends are trying to tell you something important, but you just cannot hear them. Join Graham the Sumatran orangutan on this special day and learn how to listen.
