Journey into rainforests, across grassy plains, and up snowy mountains to meet the extraordinary monkeys and apes that live there.

From the tiny pygmy marmoset to the huge Western lowland gorilla, this book showcases some of the world's most extraordinary monkeys and apes through stunning illustrations.
