Gorilla

by Anthony Browne

Hannah loves gorillas—but she’s never seen one, and her father is always too busy to take her to the zoo.

On her birthday, she wishes for a gorilla and is disappointed to receive only a toy. But that night, something magical happens—the toy comes to life, dons her father’s hat and coat, and takes Hannah on an unforgettable adventure to the zoo.
