Synopsis:

Young readers will go bananas for What is a Primate? From the lemurs of Madagascar to the gentle gorillas of Africa, this book describes the reproduction, communication, feeding, and complex social structures of these amazing animals.

Synopsis: This title is suitable for ages 6-12. While humans are different from monkeys, apes, and lemurs, they are all primates and are similar in many ways. For example, primates make many sounds that humans make, such as sneezes, burps, hiccups, and even laughter! This book identifies the members of the primate family tree and describes how they are different from each other. The book describes: reproduction, communication, and feeding; the complex social structures of primates; chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans, and gibbons; Old and New World monkeys; how people are different; and what is being done to rescue threatened primates from destruction by their human cousins.
