Product Description

From flossing and howling, to building nests and thumping chests, this delightful follow up to Freaky, Funky Fish explores the amazing things primates do.

All primates climb and breathe in air. They have big brains and hands and hair. But... some live alone, some live in groups. One primate has a nose that droops. Peculiar Primates is an adorable picture book with a scientific and child-friendly underpinning. With examples of different primates for each description, as well as extensive backmatter explaining the fascinating science behind their behaviors, this bizarre book captures the wonders of our ecosystem.

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—Structured like a field trip notebook, this book has a rhyming text that describes the appearance, traits, and habits of a variety of primates, including human beings. Colorful illustrations fill the spreads and amplify the primate featured in the narrative with additional information. Such standard facts as, "One's face is red/another's blue, some primates sport a fancy do" are covered, but unusual information is also introduced, e.g., "Some primates floss/ to keep teeth clean, while others use the/same latrine." In addition to naming each primate, the information in the illustrations invites readers to linger and explore each page. A section at the end of the book offers more information, and the author has appended lists of websites, books, and videos for further exploration, with a list sources consulted.

Review

The minimal text...will pull in reluctant readers and also make for a good read-aloud for the very young. The colorful artwork uses a winning combination of accurate details, sly humor, and expressive, comical facial expressions.
