Synopsis

This attractive and fun book is packed with fascinating facts about the ever-popular subject of monkeys. Perhaps due to their similarities to ourselves, monkeys are among the most endearing and popular animals among people around the world. Did You Know? ... Some monkeys have a prehensile tail that can grab onto branches and acts like an extra arm. Night Monkeys are nocturnal and have huge owl-like eyes. Howler Monkeys are among the loudest animals in the rainforest - their roaring calls carry for five kilometres. Each spread covers a different aspect of monkey life, from ' Family life' and ' What's for dinner?' to ' Special adaptations' and ' Territory matters' . The book looks at monkeys from all around the world, from tamarins and spider monkeys in South America, to African baboons and geladas, to macaques and langurs in Asia. Bite-sized chunks of interesting information coupled with stunning photographs combine to make this an engaging and entertaining introduction to the subject that's bound to capture the imagination of any reader.
