My brother Eric and I have a long tradition of exchanging monkey gifts. I don’t remember how it started, but he got a monkey lamp for his wedding two years ago. Last week was his birthday, so allow me to share the monkey joy with all of you - in the context of books. A banana-load of monkey-centric books awaits you, with a little info on each to whet your ape-itite.
Fiction
Five Little Monkeys Sitting in A Tree
(Note: Apes and monkeys are not the same biologically, but for hairy purposes, both appear on this list. I beg your indulgence.)
