Book Description

Age Level: 7 and up

Joe Jr.'s dad is Danger Joe Denim, a famous zoologist who travels around the world filming his animal show. But Danger Joe has a bad habit of stepping straight into danger, and it makes for wild fun!

Danger Joe and Joe Jr. head to Africa to film an episode about the sacred baboons. Joe Jr. learns about how baboons live in family troops. Danger Joe reminds his son to be careful and not to disturb any of these Old World monkeys because baboons are very protective of the other members of their troop. But when a baby baboon slips into the raging river, Danger Joe's instincts take over. He makes a daring bungee baboon rescue, but who will save him from the wrath of the mother baboon?

This review is from: Bungee Baboon Rescue (The Danger Joe Show) (Paperback)

My family seeks out books by Jon Buller and Susan Schade, and I think we have almost all of them. When I saw the "Danger Joe Show" series, I was thrilled. My first-grade son can now continue to grow as a reader while having a great time learning.

The information about animals and Africa in "Bungie Baboon Rescue" is clear, simple, and totally delightful. The characters are unique but believable, while the relationships are very real. And to top it off, the plot is sweet.

I highly recommend buying this book and as many by Buller and Schade as you can. They will be the ones your kids will remember when they are adults, looking for classics to read with their children.
