Gorilla by Anthony Browne
Celebrate thirty years of a classic picture book by one of today's most celebrated author-illustrators A special anniversary edition. Hannah loves gorillas and longs to see a real one. Unfortunately, her father is always too busy -- or too tired -- to take her to the zoo. But on the night before her birthday, something extraordinary happens and Hannah's wish finally comes true. Anthony Browne's classic story of a girl's moonlit night of adventure, courtesy of a surprising and kindly friend, returns in a larger trim size with striking cover art by the artist for the book's thirtieth anniversary.
Anthony Browne is rightly regarded as one of the world's leading picturebook creators. He lives in England with his wife and two children. He has won awards in many countries, including the Kate Greenaway Medal of England for GORILLA and ZOO, and the Kurt Maschler Award of Germany for GORILLA. His inspiration for GORILLA came from a combination of things -- a greeting card he'd designed of a huge macho gorilla holding a teddy bear, a very lonely boy he knew whose father lived in New Zealand, his own fascination with gorillas. The behavior of a real family provided the idea for PIGGYBOOK (not his own, however!) When the book was completed, he presented the family with a copy, without comment. But they didn't see any relevance to themselves!
