OverviewThe Book of Being Chimp is Adrian Cale's entertaining celebration of the chimpanzee. Written with fact-filled, often witty reverence and featuring 100 of the author's beautiful photographs, it is a fun and informative step-by-step guide to chimpanzee life. The captivating pictures are accompanied by a simple, humorous, and engaging text which tells you all about the contrasting lives of chimps in the wild and those being rehabilitated at rescue centres. The book is split into two main parts, presented across 40 beautifully designed spreads. Each spread title starts with the word 'being' as part of a sequential guide to the various stages, characteristics, behaviour, quirks and challenges of chimp life. Part 1 - Being a Chimp - details their life in the wild - from birth, through growth and development stages, to what makes them tick, what they eat, how they communicate and more. Spreads include being a baby, being a mum, being like us, being a community, being groomed, being clever and so on. Part 2 - Being helped to be a Chimp - covers the vastly different life of rehabilitating chimps at rescue centres and what they go through learning to be chimps all over again. Spreads include being rescued, being seen by the vet, being supported, being bottle-fed, being encouraged, being happy and so on. This charming book is a warm, witty and informative look at the wonderful but challenging world of simply being a chimpanzee.

""In this book he brings together some beautiful pictures with writing packed with facts in a light and humorous way. If chimps could read, this might well be their own how-to-grow-up guide. These delightful pictures and simple text tell you so much about chimps and why we should protect them.""; Patrick Barkham, Bestselling natural history author & Guardian environmental journalist.
