In the rain forest of Manu, there are 14 different species of Monkeys. All sharing the same forest, they live at different heights, have different diets, and may even be active at different times of the day (or night). 

Introduced with a couplet, we learn interesting facts about each species like what they do when they aren't hunting for food, or how they communicate with each other. Includes an infographic for each species showing at which level of the rainforest they spend most of their time, a 2 page spread with monkey silhouettes to see the forest in context, and a fact sheet for each which includes lifespan, diet, predators, and field notes. A fun addition to the animal books in either an elementary or middle school library.
