A Chimp Named Jay

Meet Jay – a cheeky little chimp with a huge imagination and an even bigger
heart!
When Jay finds himself in a world full of roaring creatures, stomping giants, dusty
deserts and wild surprises, he does what he does best…
he leaps into action – Uncle Tūmeke style!

This colourful story encourages readers and listeners to move, laugh, roar, stomp, and get involved with the actions on every page. With bright illustrations and a playful rhythm, A Chimp Named Jay is created to capture the attention of busy minds and spark joy in children who learn through movement, imagination, and fun.

Perfect for a lively story time session.
