Marvin, his wife, and all his children are lovers of animals and over the years they had the luxury to have many different animals on ranches in California and Oregon. Forty five years ago, an animal trainer offered to sell Marvin a baby chimpanzee who is the star of "Going Bananas". Joey lived with Marvin and his family for three years. They were amazed at the intelligence, behavior and understanding he showed them during this time. They took him everywhere portrayed in the book. Marvin wrote this book to provide children education about wildlife conservatism, protection, atrocities, and solutions that can only become a reality when the world is knowledgeable and advocates for animal rights.
