4.0 out of 5 stars
A good book to introduce children to the joys of research.
I think the best part of the book is that it shows children the fun and excitement of doing primate research in the wild.

This review is from: Shadows in the Dawn: The Lemurs of Madagascar (Paperback)
I think the best part of the book is that it shows children the fun and excitement of doing primate research in the wild. It shows why Alison Jolly has
returned to the same piece of forest for the last
30 years. It balances that by displaying some of
the sorrow
when you cannot help a dying animal.
And of course, it describes Lemur catta social organization at a level which should be entertaining to children, and mentions briefly some of the other lemurs found in Berenty reserve. The book is nicely illustrated with photographs on every page.
