Meet four species of great apes - the orangutan, chimp, bonobo and gorilla. Each species is illustrated with stunning visuals that show them nurturing their young, eating, fighting, snoozing and more. Martin Jenkins is a conservation biologist and author of the award-winning non-fiction picture books The Emperor’s Egg and Chameleons Are Cool - that are also Nutmeg Media picture-books-on-video.In her debut as an illustrator, former zookeeper Vicky White creates breathtaking oil and pencil drawings that bring the great apes to life. A concluding section identifies the fifth great ape - humans - and discusses why some great apes are facing extinction. A supplemental “Did You Know?” section and world map provide further details.
