    About this ebook

    Meet Boris, the chimp who took a bite out of the Big Apple—and wished it had been a banana: “No one concerned with either apes or people should miss it.” —Peter S. Beagle, award-winning author of The Last Unicorn
     
    This book answers the question that is on everybody’s mind: “What’s it like to raise a chimpanzee in Manhattan?” Hester Mundis’s hilarious memoir No He’s Not a Monkey, He’s an Ape and He’s My Son is the complete guide to raising a chimp in the heart of urban America. Join Hester, her husband, their terrifying attack dog Ahab, and the funniest monkey—excuse us, ape—ever to occupy an apartment on the Upper West Side of New York City in this true adventure of woman versus beast.
