My Friend Gorilla

Children's Books

Morozumi, Atsuko

Animals

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)

Here is a list of the things I love. One gorilla. Two butterflies among my flowers--and one gorilla. Tree budgerigars in my house--and one gorilla. One very playful gorilla keeps popping up in gardens, forests, jungles, and even people's houses as he takes the reader on a wild counting adventure. He hides--as much as a gorilla can!--along with all the other creatures as they dart, leap, and peer from the most surprising places, waiting to be counted. A chart at the end of the book provides a key to all the animals and their corresponding numbers. Soft, precise illustrations characterize this colorful counting book.
