Reviews
Browne's trademark humor and affinity for apes as representatives for human emotion work together beautifully here.
--The Horn Book
The delightful Big Gorilla works perfectly, with illustrations shifting from 'together' to 'alone' and 'happy' to 'sad' and so on with engaging creatures bringing the concepts beautifully to life. Irresistible.
