Owen Davey Press Reviews
'Davey's striking illustrations and bold graphic design are the highlights of this compendium of facts about monkeys. He deftly draws on their varied and unusual physical features to produce eye-catching images that will attract browsers.'
--School Library Journal
'Owen Davey presents a stunning and richly informative primer on these marvelous primates. With art that calls to mind Charley Harper and the golden age of mid-century children's book illustration, Davey explores the glorious diversity of these weird and wonderful creatures, their sophisticated social life, and their elaborate communication style.'
--Brain Pickings
'Over 250 species are explored in this book, with Davey's signature illustration style that is engaging and attractive to readers of all ages. As per usual, there is information about conservation at the end of the book. This is an important part of all the animal books the author works on!'
--The Tiny Activist
