"Unbelemurable...Quirky, original illustrations compliment the
storytelling in a book that both children and adults will love and learn
from." --Daniel Flynn, Oakland Zoo/My Rainforest, My World Program
Award-winning writer and illustrator Andrea Antinori takes us on a
whimsical journey that marries fiction and fact as he explores the
history, habits, and habitats of lemurs, one of the funniest (and most
fun to draw) animals on the planet.
Have you ever heard a lemur sing? Did you know that in the morning
lemurs sunbathe while doing yoga and worshiping the sun? And some can
even levitate. In this whimsical, fictional take on lemurs, which
incorporates many true facts, award-winning writer and illustrator
Andrea Antinori amusingly chronicles the history, habits, and quirks of
one of the most unusual animals on the planet. The lemurs' story begins
fifty million years ago, when they left Africa on the back of a sperm
whale and landed in Madagascar (maybe)...and the rest is an unnatural
history. Comprehensive educational backmatter presents amazing (and
true) facts about these incredible and seriously endangered animals.
