(1) K-3 This reissue of a Kate Greenaway Medal winner tells the tender story of a lonely girl who loves gorillas. Browne never shies away from emotional truths, and the opening scenes of Hannah being neglected by her too-busy father are almost unbearably sad. But miracles can happen, and Hannah's magical night out with her new gorilla friend gives us hope that her life is going to change for the better.
Reviewer: Terri Schmitz | Horn Book Magazine Issue: January, 1986
