A quiet afternoon in the forest is interrupted by a sound no one can quite place.
When a sudden sneeze echoes through the trees, Chomp the Chimp pauses to listen.
About the Story
In this story, Chomp sets out to understand an unexpected sound in the forest. What begins as a simple mystery slowly becomes a shared experience of cooperation, patience, and discovery.

Intended Audience
Early childhood; generally ages 3–7, including preschool through early elementary readers.
Especially well suited for shared read-aloud settings and quiet group discussion. Age ranges are provided as general guidance; individual suitability may vary by reader and context.
