Monkeypig

A hilarious tale of identity and belonging that will have fans of Adam Rubin and Aaron Reynolds swinging from the trees with delight!

She's a monkey! No, she's a pig! She's . . . Monkeypig?

Molly happily resides in the jungle alongside all the other monkeys, living her best monkey life among the treetops. There's just one problem.

She's actually a pig.

And head monkey Norman knows it. To prove his instincts right, he puts Molly and the rest of her forest family through a series of tests designed to weed out any non-monkey monkeys. Molly gamely jumps . . . er, flops . . . through all of Norman's hoops, doing her piggy best to be the ultimate primate. At the end of this ropes course, they discover a surprise reveal about who the real monkey is after all.

About the Author
Huw Aaron is a Welsh cartoonist, author, and illustrator. After a short and fairly hopeless career in finance, Huw found a niche as a magazine cartoonist, producing joke cartoons for, among others, Harvard Business Review, Reader's Digest, Private Eye, and The Spectator (London). He then started making comics and illustrating children's books in his native Welsh. Huw's harshest critics--and his best friends--are his wife, Luned, and their two daughters.
