Gorilla by Anthony Browne

5.0

I pretty much love everything that Anthony Browne does. In this book, Hannah has a deep love for gorillas and she has asked her father for a gorilla for her birthday. She doesn't see her father very often--he seems to be a single father and he works near constantly which tires him out and leaves Hannah feeling alone. The night before her birthday, however, something wonderful and miraculous happens which changes everything. Part of why Browne continues to be an amazing author/illustrator to this day is because he makes his books thoroughly entertaining for every reader. While the stories are stunning in their own right, the illustrations are breathtaking. They are filled with hidden pictures and hints about the story that beg for rereading. Excellent.
