The book begins with an introduction to a baby squirrel monkey. There is a physical description of the squirrel monkey that includes a little box at the bottom of the page with a shadow illustration of how large the adult squirrel monkey is compared to a human child. An explanation is given of where they live with a map imposed onto the photos of the trees they inhabit. The variety of sounds the squirrel monkeys make are described and explained. The author gives details on the squirrel monkeys development from birth to adulthood. The babies are raised in family groups called troops. She explains who their predators are, and how the mother protects and feeds her baby. The mother gives special training to her babies to teach them how to find fruit and peel it. At 18 months old the squirrel monkey is considered an adult. Squirrel monkeys live in the same troop their entire lives. The book concludes with an illustrated glossary. The closing page gives a list of books and an online website a child can explore for more information.

I received this book free from the publishers in exchange for my honest review.
