What to expect
Jack-Jack, the world's coolest dog, looks after orphaned chimpanzees in Africa; he's about to embark on his biggest adventure ever!
I spend my days playing with baby chimps. When I meet Ben, suddenly, I have more baths than ever (previously none). I wave goodbye to my pet fleas, and prepare to fly thousands of miles. I’ve never been on a lead or in a car, so what will an aeroplane be like?
The first in a new series of four books.
