A very special gorilla has his own special form of sign language and has everything he wants. But he is lonely so the zoo keepers give him Little Beauty, a kitten. They become best friends until Gorilla loses his temper and almost loses his friend too! Check out how Gorilla and Little Beauty do everything together(!!!) and see if you can find the gorilla hiding in the roses. Recommended for all ages.
This was Monday's read-aloud in Rooms 6, 2 and 3 and I think everyone really liked it. (I know I did.)
PS: Yes, Room 3, this book is based on a true story. A gorilla in a Californian zoo "babysat" a kitten, got angry one day and broke a sink (not a tv) and then blamed it on his zookeepers!
