Life is never boring now that Jams and his family have a monkey to look after. Jams and his mum love Thimble, but Dad is determined to get rid of him - to a zoo, a school, even a demolition site. But when Jams and his dad are in mortal danger, Thimble proves once and for all why he is a Monkey Superstar! Thimble is very clever and very naughty - and just the best friend Jams has been waiting for. Illustrated by Martin Chatterton

This was the best book because a ginger cat decided that James’ dad’s head was part of its territory and marked it. This was so funny.

A boy called James looks after his neighbours pet hamster which turns out to be a monkey! I did like it and my favourite part is when the monkey sits in the Dad's chair and the yoga. I would recommend this book - it's funny. In one word: funny!
