Description:
This engaging text begins by describing the traits of monkeys and explaining how they differ from great apes (chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans). It then differentiates between the two groups of monkeys -- Old World monkeys, which live in Africa and Asia, and New World Monkeys, which live in the Americas. The Eurocentric terms "Old World" and "New World" are explained and used in context. The remaining sections of the book describe the daily activities and habits of the proboscis monkey (Borneo), the Hanuman langur (India), the golden monkey (mountain forests of China), the baboon (African plains), and the patas monkey (African plains).
