    Chimpanzees Of HappytownChimpanzees of Happy Town

    by Giles Andreae(Author), Guy Parker-Rees(Illustrator)

    Reading level: Ages 2-8

    Hardcover: 32 pages

    Publisher: Orchard Books; 1 edition (October 1, 2006)

    This book was chosen for it’s simple message. The gray town of Drabsville has …no parks to play in, and no trees at all. The chimpanzees who live there all felt very sad and small …
    A traveling chimp named Chutney comes home from far away, bringing with him a seed – he plants it, waters it and watches it grow. … It gave him strength. It gave him hope. It made him happy too … The whole of Drabsville is inspired by the beautiful tree with it’s many branches,  leaves, and brightly colored flowers. The chimps decide to change their ways – they even go as far as to rename their town Happytown! One monkey who dared to do something by himself made a difference. All of this in a vibrantly illustrated, rhyming, fantastic read-aloud story!
