This review is from: Chimps (Nick Hern Books) (Paperback)

I loved this book! From its sensitive portrayal of the great Brianus Magistratus great african ape to the humorous depiction of a cluster of playful little Lucus Polandus. Something for the whole family! Mr Block has done the simian-loving world a great service. I look forward to the major TV series starring these lovable critters. And there's some great tips for wall preservation coatings, too!
