Gorilla
(2 reviews with an average rating of 4 out of 5)
Publisher: Walker Books
Hannah’s favourite animals in the whole world are gorillas; she reads about them, watches programmes about them, and draws pictures of them. But all she really wants to do is see a gorilla in real life. Hannah’s dad is always too busy to take her to the zoo, so on her birthday, Hannah decides to ask for a gorilla of her own.
This fantastical picture book from 2009-2011 Children's Laureate and Hans Christian Andersen Award winner Anthony Browne is a warm and sensitive story. With its beautiful, slightly surreal illustrations, it is a magical story to treasure and share again and again.

I love the surreal quality to this book and the characters are great. Children love spotting things in the pictures and the illustations are very dramatic. Great to perform (I'm a professional story-teller)!

Slightly sureal but a charming story.
