Davey's striking illustrations and bold graphic design are the highlights of this compendium of facts about monkeys. He deftly draws on their varied and unusual physical features to produce eye-catching images that will attract browsers. --School Library Journal
Owen Davey presents a stunning and richly informative primer on these marvelous primates.

This nonfiction picture book colorfully and innovatively educates readers about various types of monkeys from around the world without being pedantic.
