Children love the exploring the pictures and finding the unusal happenings in them. They get involved quickly in the story line and can relate to the role of the gorilla. A book that lends itself to alot of talking about once it has been read aloud. ( )

Children feel neglected when parents are preoccupied with other concerns, and young Hannah is no exception. But Hannah has an imaginative outlet-she adores gorillas. This surreal story captures Hannah on the eve of her birthday and follows her escapades with a toy gorilla gift that comes to life; art and film fans will enjoy seeing gorilla faces in place of the faces on the Mona Lisa, Whistler's mother and Superman, among others.
