Content:
The Book of Being Chimp is Adrian Cale’s
entertaining celebration of the chimpanzee.
Written with fact-filled, often witty
reverence and featuring over 100 of the
author’s beautiful photographs, it is a fun
and informative step-by-step guide to
chimpanzee life. The captivating pictures
are accompanied by a simple, humorous and
engaging text which tells you all about the
contrasting lives of chimps in the wild and
those being rehabilitated at rescue centers.
Part 1 - Being a Chimp – details their life in
the wild - from birth, through growth and
development stages, to what makes them
tick, what they eat, how they communicate
and more.
Part 2 - Being helped to be a Chimp - covers
the vastly different life of rehabilitating
chimps at rescue centres and what they go
through learning to be chimps all over again.
‘Emotive, informative, inspirational and enchanting, with stunning photographs and clear writing throughout… If chimps themselves could read, this might well be their own how-to-grow-up guide.’ Jane Goodall
‘A beautiful book with stunning photographs, this is a wonderfully humorous, informative book about chimps. Quite simply, a great read for all the family.’ Iolo Williams, BBC Wildlife TV Presenter
