Gorilla

Written and illustrated by Anthony Browne

For ages 5–8

Hannah loves gorillas but has never seen one. Her father’s too busy to take her to the zoo – or for anything else come to that. 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.

But 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 …
