1: Monkey Madness
This really is an excellent book for kids. I bought it for my 2 year old and she loves to look at this book. Sometimes she tries to imitate the facial expressions of the monkeys and amazingly she is memorizing the different names of the monkeys.

2: judging a book by its cover
I purchased this tome strictly because of the unique cover. I didn't know if digital trickery was involved, or if it really was a portrait. It and the amazing and beautiful pages inside are real photos. The quality and skill exhibited by the photographer is stunning. I was looking at my ancestors and they showed anger, aloofness, joy, shyness and all the other facial variances that I see in humans. It is the type of book that you can look at over and over, yet find something fresh each visit. Highly recommended.

3: A great gift for those who love to laugh
We came across this book while on vacation. It was the funniest book we had seen in a long time. We bought a few copies to give as gifts for our friends who like photography, animals, humor, etc. The photos are well done and the facial expressions on the monkeys are unbelievable.

4: Monkey Business
Jill Greenberg's photos are simply amazing. The subjects, all monkeys of one kind or another, convey a wide range of emotions and, as the introduction suggests, may remind you of friends, relatives or other close acquaintances.
This isn't a "photo book of animals". It's artful photography by a woman who has somehow gained the trust of these wonderful critters. Toss it on your coffee table and let guests enjoy the images.

5: Wonderful book to share with anyone.
After discovering this book at a friend's home I went home and immediately ordered three. I plan to keep one and send the others as gifts. In fact, I plan to purchase more to use for gifts. Regardless of age anyone can enjoy this fascinating book. The photography is flawless and generates a whole new respect for nature and it's inhabitants. Would recommend it to any one.
