As a lover of primates and monkeys alike, I grabbed this book from the library display case and curled up for a good half hour, contemplating each face. O rhesus fair, o sweet chimpanzee.
Jill Greenberg earned notoriety for her work with human subjects -- John McCain and children in particular (see this great Slate piece on Greenberg's style and method). Well, she has a gift for putting these creatures at ease. It helps that all of the monkeys are professional models and actors in L.A. (not joking -- check out their résumés in the appendix).
I didn't care for the cutesy captions for each portrait ("sad", "sleepy", "anxious"). These species express themselves quite capably, no subtitles needed.

This book is just like the bear Portraits but this time she worked with Monkeys. They are so cute and adorible that you just wish you could own one. Great work on this picture book too.

I loved this book of monkey portraits. The different species of monkeys seemed so humanistic. I almost wished there was more writing to accompany these photos.
