This is an excellent introduction for children and a good example of an easy-to-use non-fiction book. It is a good way to encourage your child to learn to do their own research, by using the clearly laid out Contents, Glossary and Index pages and the links to carefully selected websites. The text is clear and simple but packed with information that children will love. How monkeys communicate; what they eat and where they live, among other topics. Each topic is covered on a double page spread. This is complemented well by the abundant illustrations. This is one of over 50 titles in the Beginners Series by Usborne Books.
