Shortlisted for the UK Laugh Out Loud Book Awards 2017 

​Selected for the Summer Reading Challenge 2017 and   Toppsta Summer Reading Guide 2017

Writer Jon Blake and illustrator Martin Chatterton have been working together on books such as Little Stupendo and The Likely Stories for over twenty years and the hilarious Thimble Monkey Superstar is their best yet...even if they do say so themselves! 

Pets – they’re great, aren’t they? Especially kittens and puppies. And, of course, monkeys. They’re brilliant pets too, aren’t they?   RIGHT? Err… well, Jams definitely thinks so. He loves having Thimble as a pet. The good news is that Mum also loves Thimble. The bad news is that Dad   hates   him. He’s determined to get rid of Thimble – to a zoo, a school, even a demolition site. But when Jams and his dad are in mortal danger, Thimble proves once and for all why he is a Monkey Superstar! Thimble is very clever and very naughty - and just the best friend Jams has been waiting for. 














​‘Madcap humour, corny one-liners and ludicrous situations abound in this light-hearted chapter book… The illustrations are suitably wild and wacky and the short, snappy text make this an accessible and fast-paced adventure.’ 

BookTrust


‘It’s very funny and the text positively bristles with jokes and snappy one-liners, the butt of most of them being Jams’ hapless dad. Nicely divided into satisfying chapters and full of Martin Chatterton’s wonderful bug-eyed illustrations, this is easy and addictive reading.’ 
Andrea Reece, Lovereading4kids
