One gorilla, two orangutans, and three chimpanzees lead the way in this portrait gallery of primates. Every face has a distinctive personality and quirky details Larger, more rare creatures appear first, progressing to smaller, more numerous primates like eight macaques, nine colobus monkeys, and ten lemurs. This effective counting book ends with a group portrait of humankind- many ages and ethnicities. “All primates. All one family. All my family…and yours!” Naturalistic, intense watercolors will capture the attention of small children. mjw |
