"What is 'normal?' That's the question an eager young scientist, narrating her very first book, hopes to answer. Unfortunately, her exceedingly 'normal' subject--an orangutan named Norman--turns out to be exceptionally strange. He speaks English, sleeps in a bed, loves his stuffed toy, goes bananas over pizza, and even deep-sea dives! Oh, no: what's a 'normal' scientist to do? A humorous look at the wackiness that makes us all special-- and a gentle reminder that 'normal' can't ever be defined!"--OCLC.
