One of my favorite early chapter series! I just love the whole premise of this series and the chosen explorers based on the mission at hand。 This one focused on a mission where Fig, an orangutan, was missing, but also plantation owners were going to bulldoze part of the rainforest for an expansion to their palm oil plantation。 Ollie, the rainforest explorer, and Kiki, the engineering explorer, had to save the rainforest before it was too late! Again, very engaging, beautiful illustrations, great One of my favorite early chapter series!
