In this audiobook you'll meet three naughty animals, including Fu Manchu, the orangutan escape artist. Fu Manchu lived at the Omaha Zoo and would routinely break out of his habitat to explore the zoo on a nice day. Zookeepers were baffled as to how the ape was escaping, until one day they caught him in the act. Fu Manchu knew how to pick locks. Not only that, he had created his own tool that he used to pick the locks with, which he would store in his mouth so as not to be found out. This and two other charming stories will engage readers and leave them wondering if humans are really the smartest animals.

This kids National Geographic Series is a favorite of my kids (7 year old son and 8 year old daughter). In particular, Ape Escapes! gets listened to over and over again. Great learning books with new words, clear narration and compelling stories that keep the kids engaged, many times over. We love Ape Escapes!
