One Gorilla

Anthony Browne, who creates a lot of picture books with monkeys and gorillas in them has a brand-new book out called, One Gorilla: A Counting Book.  Inside you'll find large numerical numbers and font sizes to match the expressive color palette of one gorilla, two orangutans, three chimpanzees, four mandrills, five baboons, and more primates, all the way up to the number 10, as each creature takes on their own unique personality.  Youngsters will love the large scale illustrations along with a self illustrated portrait of the illustrator himself.  The book concludes with a large portrait of many people representing a wide variety of ages and ethnicities, just as there are primates.  What can be better than animals in a counting book?
