5Everyone knows that once a lemur takes a fancy to you there is not much that can be done about it. That's just what happens to a little boy when a lemur begins to follow him in the park one day--and more of the adoring animals join in. The boy does everything to ditch the playful creatures, from jumping on a train to flying in a hot-air balloon to climbing the highest mountain. But nothing works--and soon he's lost, too! It's then that his constant companions show just why they make the very best of friends.

The parade of lovable lemurs, and Frann Preston-Gannon's humorous and sweet illustrations, will have children laughing, reading this again and again . . . and wishing they could have a pet like that, too. This new board book edition is the perfect size for new readers.
