This is an excellent book to show children the excitement of the start of spring. The rabbit goes on a journey because he thinks someone is calling him, and then realizes what all the activity means...Spring. Children from 3-6 will love this book, and there are many extention activities teachers could do with this happy srpring book.

This is my 18 month old's favorite book for the past several months! She picks it out time and time again. She loves all the animals and the part where I sing Happy Birthday to Gorilla (and she pretends to blow out the candles). She likes to fetch different stuffed animals to read this book with her--she'll "point out to them" the page that they are featured on! (Its got every animal from a lion to a zebra, to a elephant...of course her stuffed gorilla is ever present for the reading of this book!)

This book is one of my 18 month old's two MUST READS before bedtime. (along with Goodnight Moon) It is a cute story about the gorilla, and how everybody loves him - from when he was one day old, to when he grew to be big.

My son was 3 when I bought him Little Gorilla. His sisters were 8 and 10, and he was often frustrated that they could do things he wasn't allowed to do. Little Gorilla was his favorite bedtime story. What he liked most was that Little Gorilla grew, and grew, and grew, until Little Gorilla was BIG! He was surrounded by love and affection that didn't go away once Little Gorilla grew big. I'm buying a new copy of "Little Gorilla" for my future grandchildren. It is a sweet, gentle story, that will always be meaningful to small children and the people who love them.

A new edition of the 1978 book brings this somber, wordy, story back to life with large, lush, color pastels. The story, about a boy who is given magic shoes, which take him on a dancing journey, may not have tremendous child appeal, but the luminous color will attract new readers.

This is a story of a little boy who refused to let go of his dreams. He dreamed of dancing across the land, telling stories with his dances, making people smile.

This book danced it's way into our hearts. It's one of those "makes you feel good" books. My 4-year old daughter loves it. The illustrations and wonderful and the story is one you can read time and again.

This book tells a simple story about a young child who has been placed in foster care because her mother has slipped into a deep depression. not a story for every child, but for a child that has had to experience or is being placed in foster care this story gives hope.
