Description
This book about monkeys guides readers through creating an informational report.
Quick Summary
If you've got a kid who needs to write a report on monkeys (or just can't stop asking questions about them), this one's a solid pick. Greg Pyers walks readers through the whole process of putting together an informational report everything from picking a monkey species to organizing facts so it practically does the heavy lifting for anyone staring at a blank worksheet in panic mode. The monkey facts themselves are genuinely interesting, covering everything from howler monkeys' crazy calls to capuchins using tools, which gives kids plenty of material to work with. It's probably best for middle graders in grades 4-6 who are tackling research assignments, though younger animal lovers who just want to learn will get a kick out of it too. Parents will appreciate that it's straightforward and informative without anything tricky or inappropriate just solid animal facts presented in a way that actually teaches research skills. Think of it as part animal book, part homework helper. If your kiddevours anything about primates, they'd probably also like "The Monkey's Paw" type collections, but for actually getting the assignment done, this one's got your back.
