Gorilla

Author: Anthony Browne
Illustrator: Anthony Browne
Publisher: Walker

Hannah’s father never seems to have time to spend with her. Disappointed with receiving a toy gorilla for her birthday instead of the real one she hoped for, she enjoys a night time outing with her new toy, who grows to life size. Is it a dream?

This picture has subtle things to say about parent/child relationships, and each revisit reveals new things previously unspotted in the illustrations.
