Can you tell a slow loris from a slender loris? Did you know that when it rains orangutans make umbrellas using leaves? What’s the difference between a monkey and an ape? Discover all of this (and many more monkey facts!) ­­in Kate Viggers’ humorous, illustrated guide to monkeys and other primates.

From lemurs and tarsiers to gorillas and chimpanzees, A Book of Monkeys reveals the social lives of primates, their dining preferences and their grooming habits. You will even find out which monkey swims and how the male gorilla impresses female gorillas!

So, if you want to be able to tell your chimp from your bonobo or find out what a macaque likes to eat for tea, A Book of Monkeys is the perfect book for you.
