5.0 out of 5 stars Great heartwarming story and inventive illustrations

A.S. · 12 October 2020

I bought this as my daughters class have been studying the story and illustrations and she loves it. Very unusual illustrations with lots of little 'hidden' pictures in the image. Great story and well worth it.

I've never come across a poor Anthony Browne book.Bear's Magic Pencil is probably my favourite. But Gorilla is beautiful, touching, a bit sad and somewhat sinister.

Great book but turned up with a slight fold on the front cover, I’m guessing it happened during delivery which can’t be helped.
