"Uh-oh. I'm lost," a little duck says. "I can help," says a monkey, who swings down from a tree and points out Mama duck. Then the monkey loses his balance! Who can help him?! Giraffe can!

Review
"Each animal has offered a solution suited to its skills, and the words are easily memorized with their variations: perfect intellectual engagement on the preschool level." —
Newsday"The animals' predicaments will be familiar to young children, and the concept of helping is right on target for the always-eager-to-lend-a-hand audience. Costello's animated art tells a lot of the story, and there's enough easily resolved tension to keep things lively." —Horn Book
