This is an informative book about apes and a few of their relatives, based on a search by a monkey for the living ape which is most like King Kong. The pictures are very good and should be appreciated by young children. This book should serve as a good introduction to apes and their relatives and perhaps inspire children to inquire further into these interesting animals.This book is written in American English. I am more familiar with Australian and UK English, so it took me a little while to get used to the lumping together of apes, monkeys and in this book, lemurs as well, and calling all of them apes.I would also have liked the book to have described Chimpanzees and Bonobos separately, because of the clear differences between them.
