As Chomp races through the forest, he encounters a sleepy potto, a turtle, a snail, and a caterpillar revealing the value of slowing down and paying attention.
ELIZABETHTOWN, KY, UNITED STATES, October 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — From the series that Children’s Bookwatch, the children’s book review publication of Midwest Book Review, described as, “original, entertaining, and thoroughly ‘kid friendly’ … unreservedly recommended addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library,” comes the fifth installment in The Adventures of Chomp the Chimp picture-book series for children ages 3 to 7.
Santos Press announces that “Chomp the Chimp and the Slow Day” is now available for preorder ahead of its scheduled December 8, 2026 release. The story follows Chomp as he begins the day believing that faster is always better. As he races through the forest, he encounters a sleepy potto resting in a hollow, a patient turtle carrying a heavy shell, a giant snail moving at its own pace, and a caterpillar preparing for transformation. Through these encounters, Chomp gradually discovers details of the forest that had escaped his attention while rushing from one activity to the next. The story explores observation, pacing, and the idea that sometimes the smallest discoveries are found when we slow down.
“Chomp the Chimp and the Slow Day” arrives during a season when colder weather, shorter days, and winter conditions often lead children to spend more time indoors with their families or in the classroom. Rather than focusing on what cannot be done, the story highlights the opportunities that can emerge when activity slows and attention shifts toward the world immediately around us. This announcement marks the continued expansion of a planned twelve-book series.
About The Adventures of Chomp the Chimp Series
The series follows Chomp, a curious young chimpanzee who explores the natural world alongside family members and animal friends. Set in a forest environment free of human influence, the stories focus on everyday childhood experiences through themes that include observation, adaptability, community, empathy, and emotional growth.
Each title in the series is built around three complementary components. First, a picture-book story engages children through narrative and recurring animal characters. Second, each book includes factual back matter that introduces age-appropriate science concepts connected to the story’s themes and setting. The back matter anticipates questions that children may ask while providing topics adults may wish to bring to children’s attention to initiate conversation. Third, a free companion discussion guide available from ChompTheChimp.com extends learning through science-based inquiry and social-emotional reflection suitable for homes, classrooms, libraries, and clinical settings.
Current and upcoming titles in the series and their themes are:
• “The Adventures of Chomp the Chimp”: observation, family, and the natural world.
• “Chomp the Chimp and the Rainy Day”: adapting to unexpected weather and changing plans.
• “Chomp the Chimp and the Noisy Night”: understanding unfamiliar nighttime sounds.
• “Chomp the Chimp Meets Someone New”: empathy and welcoming a newcomer into a community.
• “Chomp the Chimp and the Slow Day” (scheduled for release on December 8, 2026): slowing down and noticing the details that are often overlooked.
• “Chomp the Chimp and the Forest Mystery” (scheduled for release in June 2027): friendship, cooperation, and helping a friend find a home.
Written by Dr. Franco E. Santos, the series draws upon principles of childhood development while maintaining a focus on storytelling, science inquiry, and shared reading experiences. Dr. Santos is the founder of Santos Press, a veteran-owned independent publishing imprint based in Kentucky.
Preorder information, sample pages, title information sheets, and the free discussion guide are available at ChompTheChimp.com.
