This illustrated children's book is the perfect introduction to complex world of monkeys. It includes both very basic information pertaining to the defining characteristics of monkeys as well as more detailed examinations of specific breeds and how and where they live. It further explains the geographical distinction between Old and New World monkeys and describes the physical differences and similarities between the two groups. The book also offers an outline of the internal anatomy of monkeys and prosimians which includes descriptions of their main organs, digestive systems, skeletal systems and muscular systems. It then goes on to explore the many different layers which comprise the everyday lives of monkeys including communication and disputes of territory.
