This educational picture book for children depicts the daily life and habits of the bushbaby—a nocturnal primate whose habitat is rapidly disappearing. Emerging at dusk, the little bushbaby explores the bush, feeds and grooms himself, and listens for his father's call, which protects him from the hunting owls and genets. As dawn approaches, he retreats back to the hidden nest that he shares with his family.
