My Friend Gorilla

By the author of One Gorilla

When the zoo closes down, the zookeeper brings a gorilla home to live with his family for a while. At first, the zookeeper's small son is afraid of the big, furry visitor, but gradually this fear turns into friendship. The seasons pass, and it eventually comes time for the gorilla to return to his real home in Africa. Although sad to see his friend leave, the little boy treasures his memories, and especially the photograph her receives of his friend the gorilla enjoying the new friends he has made in Africa. In simple text and glorious pictures, Atsuko Morozumi tells the story of a special friendship.
