As we are currently in a BIG "Zoboomafoo" season with our 2 year old (okay, all of us love it) this was an excellent find at our local library, especially after a trip to the Duke Lemur Center This little gem is chockful of information and photos of Lemurs.
While a longer read and over our little ones head at this point in time, we "read" this book so. many. times. Our toddler would be happy to tell you the different species of lemurs, their predators and imitate their ghostly wail.
