Kearsten says: This is a great younger chapter book. I read it aloud to my 5 year old, and it not only kept her attention, but we both learned a bit about gorillas in the process.

This was my first experience with a Magic Tree House book (I know, a travesty for a librarian), and I intend to read more with my daughter! ( )

Good Morning Gorillas: There's one thing I can't stand about the book Jack leaves his little sister alone at night in a dangerous forest while she is engered. However, He finds Annie safe with the gorillas. The gorilla Bu-Bu led him to where Annie was and that was fine. They meet a big dad gorilla who went crazy one time. They met Ho-Ho and Little guy on their journey to little gorillas. ( )

Though I am not a primate fan in general, I have to give this book more points than most of the rest of the series for several reasons. 1. Jack actually takes useful and relevant notes (even though he decides that his notes don't actually capture his experience- duh!), 2. Any book that helps raise environmental awareness and empathy gets points, and 3. I liked the unique way that Jack and Annie bond with the gorillas and explore their behavior. This book describes Jack and Annie learning about nonverbal communication and "animal magic" with a pack of mountain gorillas. ( )
