No Fits, Nilson!

(3) K-3 When Amelia's loose-cannon pet gorilla, Nilson, throws fits, she calms him. But their roles reverse when the ice cream truck runs out of banana ice cream right before Amelia's turn. In acrylic illustrations that recall woodcuts, Nilson is a giant--until book's end, when, cuddling with Amelia, he's stuffed-animal-size; this nods to the story's fantasy aspect while preserving its sweet emotional essence.
