5.0 out of 5 stars great artwork, July 28, 2000

By A Customer

This is a large boardbook that is perfect for teaching children about nature and how monkeys live. The pictures are beautiful and my nine month old loves turning the pages. The story is easy to follow and the vocabulary is simple. There is no violence, and the story teaches about respecting one's elders. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: I Am a Little Monkey (Barron's Little Animal Series) (Hardcover)

I think that this book is engaging and educational. It is not intended for very young children (under 3 or 4), as there are several sentences on each page and the text requires some understanding of the animal world. I plan to check out other books in this series from our local library.

This book offers a fairly realistic, 'non-Disney' view of chimps. (Of course, it is not that realitic, as the baby chimp is the narrator of the story!) That being said, there is nothing scary about it. There is a picture of a jaguar and the baby looks fearful, but it is clear that the baby is safe.

The pictures are great -- very detailed and life-like. My only (very small) quibble with the pictures is that it is not always 100 % clear who the various chimps are in relation to the story. Not surprisingly, chimps all kind of look alike.
