Gorilla by Anthony Browne
3.0
I thought this was an ok story, it was a little depressing at the beginning, but I liked the general idea.
It is a really good example of a picture storybook. The illustrations accompany the text very well and really bring it to life. It uses simple language and has all of the basic literary elements- theme, plot, characters and setting but none of them are very developed, which is typical for a children's book since the purpose is to introduce these concepts and not have them be distracting or too complex.
Its clear, uncluttered illustrations and easy to follow story makes it a good book for young children. The little girl in the book feeling like her father is too busy for her is an issue that many children may be feeling themselves, so they can relate to the story which is important in keeping them engaged.
This is a good book to use with children to talk about their feelings and also encourage imagination. Talking about the girl's night with the gorilla encourages children to use their imagination and gives kids the opportunity to talk about situations when they use their imaginations.
