Altoona Baboona and The Emperor's Old Clothes Reviews
A playful review compares Altoona Baboona by Janie Bynum with The Emperor's Old Clothes by Kathryn Lasky. It praises Bynum's rhyme scheme and art, notes a journey of a bored baboon with a warm home return, and credits Lasky for a modern take on a classic. It also hints at Kansas tornado lore and weather quirks.
