Recenzii
A 2016 ALSC Notable Children's Book
Tackling a topic as general as monkeys is a tall order for a picture book, but this one succeeds admirably. […] Davey keeps things lively by relating specific traits of various monkey species […] and these serve not only to pique readers' curiosity, but also to highlight the primates' diversity. The design of the book is stellar, interweaving text and stylized-but-accurate illustrations into a vibrant, cohesive whole that stands out for its appeal and clarity. A vast amount of information on monkeys is expertly delivered in both text and image without patronizing either readers or monkeys—a delight.
—Kirkus, Starred Review
A semi-irreverent tone and stylish images combine to create an arresting and informative guide to simian nature.
—Publishers Weekly
Full of bared fangs, long tails and witty descriptions, this elegant book is likely to commend itself even to readers a good deal older than those for whom it is designed.

—Brain Pickings
