General fiction (Children's&YA)

A new story with an animal theme from master storyteller Dick King-Smith

Abandoned by his bossy wife and children,

old Mr Ape finds himself living all alone in his huge and rambling house.

And then he gets a brilliant idea- he can fill the house with animals

the pets his wife and children would never let him have.

But pets have a habit of increasing and increasing and soon every room is stuffed to the brim with animals.

Something has to change . . .
