Sweet, loving toddler/ big sibling book

This is a lovely, sweet book, which shows that adults continue to love a child as he grows. This would be especially nice to give to a toddler with a new, cute younger sibling.

sweet, precious story

This is my very favorite book out my 21-month-old son's collection of about 50 board books. I love the first few pages--it reminds me of when our parents & close friends came to the hospital the day my son was born. We also sing "Happy Birthday" at the end. We do some baby sign language too when reading the book. Makes a treasured gift for newborns on up to preschoolers. It's nice to have a book that interests a baby but that also tells a story, i.e., not a picture book with one word per page.

Little Gorilla captured my son's heart!

This book is one of my 18 month old's two MUST READS before bedtime. (along with Goodnight Moon) It is a cute story about the gorilla, and how everybody loves him - from when he was one day old, to when he grew to be big.

A story for all generations

My son was 3 when I bought him Little Gorilla. His sisters were 8 and 10, and he was often frustrated that they could do things he wasn't allowed to do. Little Gorilla was his favorite bedtime story. What he liked most was that Little Gorilla grew, and grew, and grew, until Little Gorilla was BIG! He was surrounded by love and affection that didn't go away once Little Gorilla grew big. I'm buying a new copy of "Little Gorilla" for my future grandchildren. It is a sweet, gentle story, that will always be meaningful to small children and the people who love them.

All You Need Is Love

As a single mother with an adopted daughter and an extended family of friends, this is the perfect book to share with my child. Even though all the animals look different, they all love little gorilla and help him out. Also, great for learning animal names and some colors. What a great book! I hope it never goes out of print.
