Lauren's Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
The Little Gorilla is a board book story about a baby gorilla who explores the forests. All of the animals he meets along the way including a pink butterfly, a red monkey, and a giraffe love this monkey. When he grows up and becomes a big gorilla, the whole forest celebrates his birthday!
This story is incredibly important for children to be read to by their parents or have their parents encourage them to read it. This little monkey was loved immensely by both his parents and all of his neighbors. Even when he grew up and changed, everybody around him supported and loved him. It is important for children to know that they are unconditionally loved by so many people no matter how much they grow up or change. It also uses colors and animal names to help children learn.
