Really informative.

My 1.5-year-old son really likes monkeys and having a high opinion of other eyewitness books, I thought he might like looking through this. Turns out, it was a great idea! He loved flipping through this and looking at the pictures of the monkeys. I liked that all the pictures are actual photographs- it's nice for my son to see what they actually look like. I wish I had made time to read more about them, because he never really wanted to do more than look at the pictures, but even with only that, I think I still learned new things about monkeys. This would be a great source for a young child to gather information about all kinds of primates. Probably we'll check this out again.

I think there could have been a bit more information and facts included but it is satisfactory for the age range.

This book was very interesting such a good book but is kind of boring! But do recommend it to explorers and animal lovers! I just question the book?

Not a read through book - only interested in the forilla part - DK does a great job graphically.
