Punch, the adorable baby monkey whose heartfelt story and favorite stuffed toy have made him famous around the world, stars in this illustrated Little Golden Book!

Hang in there, Punch! When a baby Japanese macaque wasn't being cared for by his mother, the zookeepers at Japan's Ichikawa City Zoo stepped in. They gave little Punch lots of love and a big stuffed orangutan toy to hug. Soon, people around the world were sharing photos and videos of Punch and cheering as he grew bigger and stronger every day. This charming Little Golden Book with colorful illustrations introduces young readers to Punch’s story and the fascinating world of Japanese macaques.
