Superchimp

Superchimp is the hero of the rainforest. He spends his days rescuing baby parrots from trees and hippos who are stuck in the mud - no job is too big or too small for Superchimp. He even wears a cool cape, and rides around in a chimpmobile!

But despite his bravery, even Superchimp gets scared sometimes... although the person he is most afraid of is not as terrifying as you might think! When Mum bellows at Superchimp to tell him it's time to come home, he obediently obeys. It seems Superchimp can be a superhero just as long as he doesn't upset his Mum and is home in time for tea - which is a lesson any child should know! A tounge-in-cheek way to introduce the topics of helping others, overcoming your fears and understanding rules.


So if I were a monster, where would I like to dwell? The bed? The wardrobe? Behind the door? Perhaps the curtain rail?

A funny and sweet story about a little boy who is scared of the dark. He's convinced that there are monsters hiding in the room and the only way to beat them is to hunt them out! He dons his best hunting gear and starts searching, but just as he thinks he searched everywhere... there's a noise from outside the door! Will the monsters get him? Or will our brave monster hunter find a way to beat his fear?

A great new addition to the Storytime series from Giles Paley-Philips tackling children's fear of the dark in a sensitive and amusing way.
