This preK/K-level book is STUPENDOUS for teachers and school librarians who are looking for a common core tie-in. It even features beginner-level nonfiction elements like an index and references page for children just starting to learn those 20th century skills. The sharp photography and type will appeal to kids, and teachers will appreciate the practicality of this book as a starter resource.

This book is about monkeys. It has interesting facts about monkeys, where they live, and different types of monkeys. It also includes some fun facts at the end of the books.
I liked this book and think it would be useful when talking about monkeys or having a unit on different types of animals.
