His boss is a chimpanzee chimpanzee, an ape, genus Pan, of the equatorial forests of central and W Africa. The common chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes, lives N of the Congo River. Full-grown animals of this species are up to 5 ft (1. named GiS. Baxter does not like taking direction from a monkey monkey, any of a large and varied group of mammals of the primate order. The term monkey includes all primates that do not belong to the categories human, ape, or prosimian; however, monkeys do have certain common features. . He also does not like to cooperate with adults too much. His simulations of missions don't always go well because he makes his own choices and does not listen to his officers. I liked Baxter but he did use bad language too much (blooping was used as a swear swear v. 1) to declare under oath that one will tell the truth (sometimes "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth"). Failure to tell the truth, and do so knowingly, is the crime of perjury. word). That is not a good character for kids. I liked that he thought on his own even if it didn't always work out. I did not really like "Baxter Moon Galactic Scout" too much. It did not keep my interest because the story was way too slow and there was too much happening at once that did not always make sense. I could not always understand what was happening in the story with so many things going on at one time. It is hard to like a book if you can't understand it. Parent's comments: I read "Baxter Moon Galactic Scout" with Matthew and agree with his opinion. I found it to be difficult to follow, and it did not keep either of our interest. As a parent, I also kept editing out the main character's use of "blooping." It was clearly used in place of a more traditional swear word and I was not happy to see a main character in a juvenile book using this language. |
