Rabe, Tish Can You See a Chimpanzee? All About
Primates. Illustrated by Joe Mathieu.
Random House Children’s Books, 2014. $13.99.
This is a great book from The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library. This series shows young readers that books
can be entertaining and educational at the same time. This series introduces beginning readers to
basic non-fiction. With the help of
great illustrations and the Cat in the Hat himself, this book focuses on
learning about primates. Readers are
introduced to three main primates: Monkeys, Apes and Prosimians. All of the
information is given in the form of Dr. Seuss’ notorious rhyme: “A chimpanzee’s
body is covered with hair, but its face and its ears and its palms are all
bare.” The illustrations are as fun as
the facts presented. This is a great
informational book that children will not only enjoy reading but will present
them with a lot of fun facts about primates.
