Lenyűgöző képek a Föld legbámulatosabb majmairól. Láttál-e már majmot hatalmas, lógó orral? Gondolkoztál-e már azon, hogyan tud a pókmajom egyszerre hintázni és diót eszegetni? Tudod-e, hogy miért vigyorog a pávián és tartja egyik lábát a magasba? Mindez csak néhány példa a Csudavilág legújabb kötetének meglepetései közül; egy pompás könyv a majmok titkairól és csodáiról, gyönyörű közelképekkel és színes grafikákkal.
