Caldecott award winner author and artist, Steve Jenkins adds to his already remarkable litany of nearly twenty picture books, with the recently published, Never Smile at a Monkey: And 17 Other Important Things to Remember. With stunning paper collage visuals, readers are treated to practical and informative animal facts about possible threatening behaviors in nature.

If you are not familiar with Steve Jenkins, start with Actual Size and watch your kids eyes pop at the actual size of an elephant foot, Goliath birdeater tarantula and teeth of a great white shark. His imaginative use of paper results in a textured and delightful grouping of diverse animals that come to life in a new way. Readers are further engaged with detailed information at the end of the book like “The world’s largest frog is the Goliath frog of western Africa. From nose to toes, this frog is almost three feet long. It weighs as much as seven pounds, about the same as a housecat.”

Learn more about Steve Jenkins, science and how he makes his books.
