GingerNutz: The Jungle Memoir of a Model Orangutan

Michael Roberts' charming text and hand-drawn illustrations tell the story of GingerNutz, an orangutan born in the wilds of Borneo who dreams of making it big in the fashion world. At ten years old, GingerNutz finds a copy of Vogue magazine in a bottle washed up on the beach. Entranced by the glamorous images, the precocious primate sets her mind to becoming a high fashion model. She grooms her coat, creates makeup from exotic flowers and styles her ginger-hued hair. She encounters other like-minded jungle creatures--the creative orangutan duo Disco and Grubbana, a haughty and chic silverback gorilla--who together create their own hyper-stylish coterie, and GingerNutz fulfills her dream of sashaying down the runway.
