Book Synopsis

Willy wouldn’t hurt a fly – he even apologizes when someone hits him. The suburban gorillas call him Willy the Wimp. Then, one day, Willy answers a body-building advert … with hilarious results!

Our Review Panel says...

Willy is a gentle kind of chimp but also a target for a group of bullies, who have nicknamed him ‘Willy the Wimp’. One day Willy notices an advert in his comic and pursues it to start bodybuilding. Soon the changes he makes to his appearance gives him the confidence to stand up to the bullies. This is a very humorous story and one that leaves readers with much to discuss regarding the extent to which they agree with Willy’s response to his bullies.
