Learn along with little Madeline, all the ways that chimpanzees are like you and the people you know. excerpt: The chimpanzees live in a really big room with lots of ropes and trees. There's a door where they can go outside to another big space, just like my yard outside at home. People who visit the zoo get to see them in these places. But at the back of the room there's another place visitors don't see. Behind a special door is another room, and only people who work at the zoo (like my mom), can go there.

Book Review: As an early childhood educator, I find this book to be a valuable teaching tool. It has all of the qualities of a great children's book: colorful pictures, easy to read text and an engaging story. As a zoo docent, I find that this book gives a realistic portrayal of the day in the life of a zoo chimpanzee through the eyes of a young girl. It's a must have for anyone who deals with young primates! - reviewed by a Detroit Zoo docent for AZAD magazine Symbiosis, Jun 2007
