The Chimpanzee Book: Apes Like Us
Binding: Paperback
Imprint: Black Dog Books
The story of chimpanzees - from those that use sharp-ended spears to hunt, to those that have their own ‘crossing guards’ to help them travel to safety!
They look cute and cuddly but don’t underestimate them – our closest living animal relatives use tools to hunt, can hold a grudge and can even use computers to communicate.
