From School Library Journal:

Grade 1-4?An innocuous book on how chimpanzees communicate, illustrated with delightful full-color drawings. The text interprets their various grunts and varying facial expressions, and explains their different behaviors. The author's frequent suggestions for readers to try chimps' sounds and body language on their friends and family are a bit much, however. Limited funds would be better spent on more factual books on animal communication.?Beth Irish, Orange Public Library, CA
