Wild Baby by Cori Doerrfeld
4.0

Age: Toddler-Preschool
Animals: Orangutan, jaguar
Emotions: Fearlessness, adventurous
Familiar Experience: Getting in trouble

One wild baby swings off into playful trouble while his mama tries to keep up. When trouble turns to danger and the baby narrowly escapes, the baby monkey gets scolded by his mama, leading to tears, hugs, an apology, and a tender embrace.

The plot's excitement, the relatable experience, and the softer illustrations made this a treasured book in my 2-year-olds library.
