Vincent the Vain

Vincent the Vain

by Sam Lloyd (Illustrator)

Synopsis

'Well, hello and welcome, I'm Vincent, that's me. The most gorgeous gorilla you'll ever see. All of me's fabulous, but the bit I love best ...is my gloriously hairy, furry chest!' When Vincent's celebrated chest hair starts to dwindle and fall out, his verve for life takes an unexpected sky dive, too. But his friends soon find a way to put the cheer back into Vincent's world view and the way he sees himself.
