Gorilla

By Anthony Browne

A stunning new edition of the classic picture book by a Hans Christian Andersen Award-winner.

Hannah loves gorillas but has never seen one. Her father’s too busy to take her to the zoo. For her birthday, Hannah asks her father for a gorilla but is disappointed when she discovers that the gorilla she’s got is just a toy one. Then something extraordinary happens ... the toy turns into a real gorilla, who puts on her father’s hat and coat and takes her off for a magical visit to the zoo...
