About this title

Synopsis

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...

Review

Dick King-Smith is a master storyteller whose award-winning children's books, including All Because of Jackson and Harriet's Hare have kept him close to the hearts of young readers and high in the bestseller lists for many years.

In Mr Ape he writes with wit, charm and tenderness of an elderly and very rich man, left alone by his ungrateful children and his hideous wife to run riot in the family mansion. As he slowly takes control of his life after living for years in the shadow of the rest of his family, he gradually fills his home with hens, rabbits and guinea pigs and befriends a young gypsy boy and his father who help keep chaos at bay.

Bursting with hope and humour, Mr Ape is a heartwarming story filled with joy, love and friendship. It brings with it a golden glow that starts in the stomach and ends up on the face in the shape of a broad and welcoming smile. Miss it, miss out. (Ages 7 to 10) --Susan Harrison
