Nick Barrucci, CEO and owner of Dynamite Entertainment, tells us "I've loved the story of Punch the Monkey since practically day one and am incredibly excited to bring this heartwarming tale to kids around the world. This book is so awesome about this adorable monkey that if we were not publishing it, I would be first in line to buy it!"

Now I only know of Punch The Monkey from John Stewart on The Daily Show. But I get that he is big… and I also remember when, courtesy of Dynamite Entertainment, I got to meet Grumpy Cat at New York Comic-Con.

"The duo have crafted an adventure for the cute little monkey, who explores the zoo in search of his best friend — the signature cuddly-toy orangutan. Where could it be? Every time the young monkey spots something orange, he thinks it may be his comforting companion. But is that an orangutan, or something different? With interactable flaps on every spread of the book, readers get to find out alongside him! Other beloved zoo animals featured in the book include red pandas, elephants, capybaras, lions, and more! Punch: Is That My Best Friend? joins a continually growing line from Dynamite Kids, which includes both original creations as well as top licenses for young fans, including Nickelodeon's PAW Patrol, Blue's Clues & You, and more."
