My kid liked it. It did the job.

Portraits of monkeys. Kind of hard to go wrong with this.

This is the ultimate coffee table book! These portraits are hysterical.

"Monkeys are superior to men in this: when a monkey looks into a mirror, he sees a monkey."
~Malcolm de Chazal



These are, without question, the funniest, sweetest, most heartbreakingly beautiful portraits I've ever seen.



I defy anyone not to be moved by these unforgettable faces.

beautiful and ridiculously humane portraits

"For anyone who doubts Darwin (ahem, Mr President) look in the monkey
mirror and think again" Introduction by Jill Greenberg

I suppose it's a stretch to say that I read this book today. It's mostly pictures, and even so, I skipped the intro. I was having a bad day. At first the monkeys really cheered me up but then I found myself weirdly fixated on how shampooed they were. Some appeared to be wearing moisturizer. They were posed under bright lights in a grey room. Maybe monkeys don't mind any of that, but it made me feel strange and sad.

This book is beautifully done. I'm a little concerned about what they had to do to the monkeys to get them in the poses they wanted but if I'm just judging on the pictures; I loved it!
