The Shrimp and the Chimp
ByPublisher Description
A funny and delightful rhyming story about a small and determined shrimp who dreams of seeing land despite his friends laughing at the idea.
"You will end up as a sea food snack,
And from something like that there is no coming back."
After ignoring his friend's warnings, a little shrimp sets forth on an adventure from lake to land and soon finds himself forming a friendship with a chimp who wants to swim. But it isn't long before they find they are both in danger of becoming snacks from a hungry crocodile. Can they escape to fulfil their dreams, or is their fate to end up on a plate?
Two lovable characters are brought to life in an inspiring story filled with fun, rhyming text and hand-drawn illustrations. Marine life meets wildlife in this rich and rewarding tale about following your dreams, finding friendship and, most importantly, not becoming snacks.
