Little Gorilla
- Book Review, by Ruth Lercher Bornstein

Review
"Short and sweet, a song of love which . . . is beguiling. Everybody loved Little Gorilla from the day he was born until one day "something happened . . . Little Gorilla began to grow and Grow and Grow . . ." And he was big, and everybody came and sang and danced and wished him a happy birthday and still loved him. So the message to the audience is clear: love goes on. The drawings are simple, large-scale [and] they fit the text very comfortably."

FROM THE CRITICS

"Little Gorilla's velvety-soft world seems as comfortably secure as the story's evocation of love and friendship."

Children's Literature

Everyone loves the baby Gorilla, but as he grows up from a sweet little thing to a big hairy ape, he wonders if he will still be loved. Yes, of course he will--all his friends and family are there in a heartwarming story about the constancy of friendship and familial love. The colored pencil drawings wonderfully depict the emotions of all the animals and especially Gorilla. 2000, Clarion,
