"Browne's exquisite precision, with delicate hatching of fur and careful stippled delineation of facial lines, becomes jubilant with color and personality." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
What better attention-getter for small children than primates in all their variety? And who better to render them than Anthony Browne? In this elegant counting book, the author-illustrator outdoes himself with a vivid presentation of primates from gorillas to gibbons, macaques to mandrills, ring-tailed lemurs to spider monkeys. With his striking palette, exquisite attention to detail, and quirky flair for facial expressions, Anthony Browne slyly extends the basic number concept into a look at similarities and differences--portraying an extended family we can count ourselves part of.Author Biography
