Very First Things to Know about Monkeys [With 25 Die-Cut Reusable Stickers]

By Sarah Albee and John Dawson

Introducing the two latest additions to the American Museum of Natural History's "Very First Things to Know About..."series: " Monkeys and Frogs." Written for four-to-seven-olds and backed by the impeccable authority of the Museum, each title combines the fun of interactive learning with fascinating science, and is embellished with detailed, realistic full-color illustrations, call-outs, and activities that make use of the 25 die-cut, reusable color stickers included with each copy. Monkeys, like Bears before it, covers the intriguing life of an animal that few children ever see in the wild, but one that has a powerful hold over many a young reader's imagination. It tells how monkeys live, what they eat, their social skills, intelligence, and childcare habits.

Well Written

Full of information without being textbookish. Pictures are interesting and enhance the writing. Would share with any young animal lover. :)

Great for third grade level

The students that I shared this book with were quite familiar with most parts of this book already. They definitely enjoyed the book though! I didn't use the stickers though (I ripped them out before I gave the book to the kids). I don't want kids to think that it's okay to be putting stickers in books:)
