Do you ever wonder about the differences between chimpanzees and humans? Learn how chimpanzees live like us and what makes them unique. Learn their eating habits, their family dynamics, how they find a mate, and the resemblances to humans. Huge, glossy photographs and easy to understand descriptions help children delve into the world of chimpanzees and learn all about their world. The chapters are informative while still holding the reader’s attention and interest. My 6 year old son loved this book, mainly because of the pictures that are on each page. The entire series of “Animal Families” would be an excellent science resource for schools or homeschooling parents because of the added features at the back of the book. A glossary and further reading page help the reader delve deeper into the subject. The further reading page has a list of books about chimpanzees. It also includes a list of websites that children can use to further explore the subject.

I received this book free of charge from Children's Lit in exchange for my honest review.
