[Nell Adams · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a cute little book learning about Squirrel Monkeys, which I never really knew existed. It tells of their life, from when they are born to when they are considered adults at age 1 and a half. The illustrations are real pictures of these animals and give great details and facts of them. A teacher can use this book when learning about rain forest animals or just learning about different animals in general.
