Desperate to do something about his situation, Willy answers a body-building advert and grows big and strong, determined no one will ever call him 'wimp' again. ||  || <span style="color: #262626; font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif;">Willy the chimp loves football. But he doesn't have any boots, so he's never picked for the team. Then one evening Willy is given a strange pair of old-looking football boots and Willy's luck is about to change. || Students made excellent connections to previous story. Some connections made regarding Willy's character and skills learned during PBL lessons (being friendly, never giving up). 11/2/12 SH || <span style="color: #262626; font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif;">Mr Piggot and his two sons behave like pigs to poor Mrs Piggott - until, finally, she walks out.

This is a teasing examination of the relationship between man and animals, and the role of zoos. ||  || <span style="color: #262626; font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif;">Willy is different.

But when he's threatened by the horrible Buster Nose he really comes into his own. ||  || <span style="color: #262626; font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif;">Willy the chimp is lonely, but then he bumps into the gorilla, Hugh Jape, and, though the pair are very different, a friendship grows between them. Hugh may have to protect little Willy from the attentions of Buster Nose, but Willy can read to Hugh and save him when a spider comes along. ||  || <span style="color: #262626; font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif;">Once upon a time there lived a brother and sister who were complete opposites and constantly fought and argued. One day they discovered the tunnel. The boy goes through it at once, dismissing his sister's fears.

Her father's too busy to take her to the zoo - or for anything else come to that. For her birthday, Hannah asks her father for a gorilla - but is disappointed when she discovers that the gorilla she's got is just a toy one. But then something extraordinary happens, the toy turns into a real gorilla. ||  || <span style="color: #262626; font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif;">She's nice, my mum...My mum's a fantastic cook, and a brilliant juggler.
