The story
Knowitall is friendly, clever and very proud of everything he knows. When Impatienta asks him a question he can't answer, he blurts out "Indonesia" anyway, and a giant atlas floats down and snaps shut on him.
He pops out in a steamy jungle in Indonesia, where an orangutan named Bayu shows him around and warns him about one thing: never let a false gharial in the river catch sight of you.
The real place: Tanjung Puting National Park
Three things to tell your kid after the story.
- 1Tanjung Puting National Park, on the island of Borneo, is famous for protecting orangutans.
- 2The word orangutan comes from the Malay words for "person of the forest," and orangutans build a fresh nest to sleep in every night.
- 3The false gharial is a crocodile relative with a very long, skinny snout that is perfect for catching fish.
