Read the full description
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 illustrated in black and white on every spread.
Jack-Jack is real! After filming the hit BBC2 series, Baby Chimp Rescue, biologist, broadcaster, and author, Prof Ben Garrod fell in love with Jack and brought him back to the UK, where the two are now inseparable.
Ben Garrod is Professor of Evolutionary Biology and Science Engagement at the University of East Anglia. He broadcasts regularly on TV and radio and is trustee and ambassador of a number of key conservation organisations.
His non-fiction series Extinct, The Story of Life on Earth (8 titles), Ultimate Dinosaurs (8 titles) are published by Zephyr. Ben lives in Bristol.
