Gorilla - Anthony Brown



2002 Walker Books
First published in 1983 and the illustrations are delightfully lost in the 80s.  A subtle dreamscape about a girl who loves gorillas. A gorilla toy comes to life and takes her to the zoo; getting there by swinging through the trees. The zoo animals are beautiful but sad. Then they go to the movies to see a gorilla superman. There's also a gorilla mona lisa and a gorilla statue of liberty; and best of all a happy ending.
I've been admiring the quilt in this book.
