Doerrfeld captures the unfettered joy of a wild baby on the move and the concern of the parent trying to keep that wild baby safe. An homage to any parent who has that fearless little one who might have a little extra wild mixed into their blood (some things translate no matter the animal or human world: “Wild slide. Wild swing. Wild hands on everything!). The jungle setting incorporates minimal words in a rhyming cadence along with a soft palette  with plenty of white space making this a lovely read aloud for story time or for a snuggle time, if one can get the wild baby to sit still long enough to listen.
