Simply by virtue of the subject, All About Monkeys could not fail to amuse as it informs. For monkeys in every conceivable size, shape and color abound in this book illustrated by Jean Zallinger. Their vast variations in habit, size, and temperament are illustrated, their superior intelligences, and their almost uncanny tendency toward comedy. Robert Lemmon does not compromise his subject by humanizing it, but portrays the monkey with a fresh and informed respect.
