Martin Jenkins and Vicky White
Ape
Walker (44 pages) 9781406303766
This is an astonishingly beautiful picture book. The large, very finely executed paintings and drawings by Vicky White dominate the pages, which have text varying from a simple one-word species name - Orang-Utan, Chimp, Banobo, Gorilla - to smaller script for notes of information. It is a magnificent presentation concluding with a couple of pages about the fifth, most common form of great ape, 'You … or me', followed by a distribution map and a brief index. What the book might lack in detailed facts it certainly makes up for in creating great empathy with the subjects through awakening wonder.
