🇬🇧 Description:
Hannah loves gorillas and longs to see a real one. Unfortunately, her father is always too busy — or too tired — to take her to the zoo. But on the night before her birthday, something extraordinary happens and Hannah’s wish finally comes true. Anthony Browne’s classic story of a girl’s moonlit night of adventure, courtesy of a surprising and kindly friend, returns in a larger trim size with striking cover art by the artist for the book’s thirtieth anniversary.
Reviews:
One of the best picture books for the over-threes I've seen in a long time. * Parents *
Sad, joyous and full of surprises for the sharp-eyed...Browne asks his readers to think...His strong visual images are arresting, compulsive. * The Good Book Guide to Children's Books *
