Sinossi

This rhyming story with color photos tells of a young proboscis monkey in Borneo. He worries because his nose is smaller than the ones of other males. When the other monkeys tease and bully him, he pulls and stretches and tugs on his nose to make it bigger. And then something happens . . . “Winning by a Nose” is a book for children who enjoy reading and listening to rhymes, and for those who like reading to them. It includes maps of the world and Indonesia, a question-and-answer section, a glossary of words that children might not know, and the scientific classification of the proboscis monkey.Stories for kids can be both fun and educational. “Winning by a Nose” helps children to: (1) exercise their imaginations, (2) learn about proboscis monkeys and Borneo, (3) understand how teasing can hurt, and (4) build their vocabularies by learning words they might not know.
