The Nature Kid's Guide to Monkeys: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Monkeys! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798898182045)

If your child thinks monkeys just swing through trees and eat bananas, this book is about to blow their mind. Did you know Japanese snow monkeys make snowballs just for fun and soak in hot springs while blizzards swirl around them? That proboscis monkeys have webbed feet for swimming and noses that never stop growing? That a single mandrill horde can hold over 600 members?

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Monkeys" takes curious kids ages 7-12 on a wild trip through the world's most entertaining animals. Why do capuchins rub plants on their fur? How does a pygmy marmoset, smaller than a stick of butter, leap 40 times its own body length? What makes the patas monkey faster than a racehorse? Your child will be reading facts out loud before they finish the first chapter.

Short, punchy sentences and jaw-dropping surprises fill every page. From the tiny emperor tamarin with its magnificent curling mustache to the brilliantly colored mandrill with its flashing blue and red face, every monkey in this book is wilder and stranger than the last.

A book for every kid who suspects monkeys might actually be the smartest ones at the zoo.

There are over 260 kinds of monkeys in the world, and more than half of them are in danger. Once your child discovers just how extraordinary they are, they'll want to help make sure these remarkable animals are around forever.
