Book Overview
Learn about different ways to measure time by following the growth of a baby chimp Late one night, a tiny chimpanzee is born at a zoo in Kansas. He seems very weak, and the staff is worried. Will he survive? When the mother shows no interest in her baby, a pediatrician comes in to care for the little chimp. The baby grows strong and healthy, and soon he is big enough to be moved to the Denver Zoo. He is named Jiggs after the doctor who saved him. Jiggs is a lot like human babies. He wears diapers. He plays with his toys. He loves his pets. And he learns all kinds of new skills as he gets older. Follow Jiggs as he grows from a wobbly infant to a wild and wonderful toddler. Along the way you can learn about clocks, calendars, time lines, and other ways of keeping time records.

cute story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Chimp Math is a story of a baby chimp who was born at the zoo and his mother would not take care of him. Human doctors took over and the book shows photographs of the chimp named Jiggs as he grows. As the story unfolds it features pages showing clocks, calendars, time lines and other ways of keeping time records based on Jiggs growth and development. I liked the full color photographs of Jiggs. He?s funny. He does lots of things that real babies do like wear diapers, play with toys and crawls.I would recommed this to kids who enjoy stories about monkeys because this one is really neat.
