Wow! Apes. How Much We Look Alike - by Mack Van Gageldonk (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

In this fifth book in the Wow! series, you'll discover the wonderful world of monkeys and apes. For nature lovers ages 5 years and up.

Of all the animals, apes are closest to humans. That's because apes, monkeys, and people are all primates. Like their human cousins, apes are very smart. They use tools, find solutions to problems, and even laugh and cry with their family and friends! Because apes are so much like humans, this book also teaches us a lot about ourselves.

About the Author

Mack (1960, the Netherlands) is a graphic designer and illustrator from The Netherlands. He was educated at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. During his education, he made funny and educational cartoons about, among others, penguins and whales. These cartoons were later bought by the 'Diergaarde Blijdorp'-zoo in Rotterdam. By now Mack is a regular illustrator at this animal park and he is the author of several children's books, in which animals often are the lead characters. Mack has a primitive way of drawing. He gets inspired by African art and the paintings of the Australian aboriginals. Both create immense power by simplifying shapes. Mack wants to combine that powerful simplification with a subtle sense of humor.
