Summary: How to Speak Chimpanzee
Review: Richard Brassey has created a picture book of ways to understand chimps' gestures and sounds. The illustrations are large,colorful and easy to interpret. As an elementary classroom teacher, I have used this book before our annual zoo field trip. After my students understand that the facial expressions and noises made by these intelligent animals are their way of communicating with each other, they have a new respect and curiosity about them. It is also fun to make faces like those of the chimps in the book and have the real life animals interact with us. A delightful book,it teaches all of us to marvel at the intelligence of this lovable primate.

Summary: A fun book for kids interested in chimpanzees
Review: This slim book offers "translations" of basic chimp vocalizations and expressions, and tips on how humans can reproduce them. The illustrations are a little clumsy (no photographs here), but they help kids understand the verbal points. A lot of fun for anyone who has an affinity toward these closely related primates.
