Celebrate 30 years of the classic award-winning picture book in this stunning new edition.

Gorilla tells the story of Hannah, who loves gorillas but has never seen one. Her father is too busy to take her to the zoo—or to do much of anything else with her. For her birthday, Hannah asks her father for a gorilla, but she is disappointed when she discovers that the gorilla she receives is just a toy.

However, something extraordinary happens. The toy gorilla transforms into a real gorilla, who wears her father's hat and coat. Together, they embark on a magical visit to the zoo.
