Willy the Champ

Willy the Champ is a book that allows a parent, teacher or clergyman to explain posititive character traits. This story with its simplistic words and magnificent illustrations chronicals the efforts of a chimpanzee viewed as not apt at doing much of anything to fit in amongst his peers.

This book will reinforce a positive value system that all children can and will identify with.
