Chimpu and the Moon Tree Varun Malhotra

A year or so ago my grand daughter then aged 4 started developing an interest in bed time stories. Soon we ran out of books or just found some of them silly. So we started creating our own characters. But the one she really loves is Chimpu - a lively little monkey who lives in the jungles of India atop the crumbling ramparts of an old Indian fort. The stories convey a message of love, care and friendship by a little monkey for his family and his tribe. In future stories the monkey, named Chimpu, and his friends discover a diamond cave, escape from the python's trap, rescue animals caught in a forest fire and save their habitat from being deforested.
