Not just monkeys and apes...

Covers gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, gibbons, baboons, Japanese macaques, golden lion tamarins, ring-tailed lemurs, and mandrills. The introduction asks questions like, "What foods do primates eat?" and "How does it feel to swing through the trees?" Throughout the book we learn the basics of each species' physical characteristics, range, social structure, eating habits, and some interesting facts. Colorful layout and excellent photographs. Includes a glossary and index. Karen Woodworth-Roman, Children's Science Book Review
