Great book
My daughter received this for her 1st birthday. At 3, she still asks for me to read it to her at least once a week. And my 18-month-old son does too.

Good Night Gorilla171 reviews
Peggy Rathmann
Putnam Pub Group, 1996
A Fun and Beautiful Bedtime Book
In this beautifully-illustrated bedtime book, the gorilla steals the key from the zookeeper, letting out all the animals, who follow the zookeeper home to bed.
The story is cute, but what I really loved about this book was the great illustrations. The colors pop out at you from the page and capture your attention.
This book is one of my new bedtime favorites! I can't wait to read it to my ...

Voices in the Park23 reviews
Anthony Browne, 2008
If you are a teacher, Get it!
I found this book when I was getting my teaching certification, and wanted to teach a 4th grade class on "Voice" or point of view. It was the basis for a great lesson! I think this could be appropriate for students in 3rd grade up to a basic high school English class. The same event (a trip to the park) is told by 4 distinctly different characters who all encounter each other in the park. So ...

Great for all ages
As a fourth year University student, I found this book compelling for all ages. It is a heartwarming book that will truly touch readers who love primates, and those who just love animals in general.

Woman in the Mists7 reviews
Farley Mowat
Grand Central Publishing, 1988
A sympathetic portrait of a complicated woman
Another engrossing and fascinating Mowat title, another Mowat "must read", "Woman in the Mists" is the sympathetic biography of a woman whose work gave us a window into the world of the mountain gorilla, a species to whose protection and conservation she was devoted. By alternating excerpts from her diary entries and personal letters with his own descriptive text, Mowat brings Dian Fossey, a ...

Endangered Liaisons7 reviews
Don Shay
Alarus Press, 2008
Into Africa
When I first opened Endangered Liaisons, I just wanted to gawk at all the amazing photographs, but I thought I'd read the first page to orient myself and get an idea of the main thrust of the book. A couple of weeks later I found I'd read every word and felt that I had enjoyed not just several safari's but several amazing, safaris full of unbelievable experiences and incredible good fortune. I ...

How to Write a Children's Picture Book: Learning from The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, ...10 reviews
Eve Heidi Bine-Stock
E & E Publishing, 2004
A Constant Companion
Eve Heidi Bine-Stock's HOW TO WRITE A CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOK (VOLUMES I, II and III)is a constant companion and rich resource in the planning and revision of picture books. The deconstruction of picture books, and the detailed classification of crucial characteristics - using classic picture books to illustrate each detailed point - make these books invaluable. Although I particularly use Volume ...

The Rhino with Glue-On Shoes: And Other Surprising True Stories of Zoo Vets and their Patients7 reviews
Delacorte Press, 2008
Fascinating Book for all Ages
Rhino has special appeal because of its various points of view and authors; because of its short essay-length articles; because of the variety of animals and ailments; because of the connections between animal health and human health. In short, it's a terrific book and an easy read, and I've had rave reviews from ages 11 to 76. It would make a great Christmas list book, as its appeal is to a ...

Gladys Goes Out to Lunch6 reviews
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2005
Love this book about a curious purple Gorilla!
Derek Anderson strikes again! The illustrator of the popular Little Quack series branches out and both writes and illustrates this book -- which is a pure delight! The book is visual candy from beginning to end -- the banana endsheets look so lush I wanted to scratch and sniff -- but it's not a scratch and sniff book! My own kids are past the age of picture books, but this is one I had to read to ...

The ending was great!
The most unusual story of a young man facing life with a handicap. I felt like a cheerleader and prayed that he could overcome. I could hardly wait to reach the end of the book. Don't peek!

GORILLAS IN OUR MIDST: THE STORY OF THE COLUMBUS ZOO GORILLAS5 reviews
JEFF LYTTLE
Ohio State University Press, 1997
Insightful review of the Columbus Zoo gorilla generations.
Though this was not a subject title that I would necessarily find intriguing, it was indeed most intriguing and insightful. I found the book very easy to follow and the photos helped me to see more fully the personality distinctions of each animal. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in animals in general. I plan to have a copy donated to the library of our local ...

Candlewick, 2002
Wonderful
This book came to the school that I teach in a sample set from a publisher. It has stayed with me for years. The illustrations are wonderful and the story is better yet. The story is about a young girl who goes to the zoo with her gorilla friend (her father is too busy to take her. Her father finds time for her in the end and her gorilla turns back into a stuffed toy. Many children can ...

One Gorilla5 reviews
Atsuko Morozumi
Farrar Straus & Giroux, 1990
Just a lovely preschool book!
The art work in this lovely book is incredible. It also lends itself to reading and re-reading. For the youngest children, you can point at different parts of the lovely pictures (they are set in different seasons and environments), and as they mature, you can "hunt" for the different animals in each picture. (one gorilla, two budgerigars,...nine cats...). A true gem!

Dramatic Business Growth* *...In the Face of Fierce Competition!6 reviews
Dan Elder, Martin Howey, 2008
A manual my consulting business should've come with
Over the years of working in the business consulting field, I have accumulated a huge library of book on sales, marketing, and business management. Most of them cover a very narrow aspect of running a small business and at many are a tad too theoretical.
Dan's book stands out as a comprehensive, very practical business manual. You can read it from any chapter. I find myself going back and ...

The Gorilla Did It4 reviews
Barbara Shook Hazen, Ray Cruz
Aladdin Paperbacks, 1988
Hey, I need a gorilla!
I think everyone does! A partner in crime and a silent buddy to blame all of your life's messes on. The Gorilla Did It, Barbara Shook Hazen's classic tale is fast approaching it's 30th birthday and remains as true and apt today as when it was written in 1974. Preschool children today are drawn to the story just as they were then and their parents will love reading it with them and chuckle at ...
