For fans of Little Shrew and Cornbread & Poppy —an illustrated early chapter book about an adorable jungle animal discovering that life is better when shared with friends.
Cusumbo is quite happy on his own. Baking, visiting the library, breathing the fresh jungle air, shopping at the market, and watching the moon rise over the mountains behind his home. Things are more manageable that way -- no scary surprises, no disruptions to his routine, everything just how he likes it.
But his new jungle home is bursting with different animals and experiences. Join Cusumbo as he finds out just how wonderful(ly surprising) life can be when it's shared with others, in six charming stories filled with color and life from Jen-Ai Elena Molineaux!
