國際安徒生大獎得主－安東尼布朗經典繪本 Gorilla 30th Anniversary Edition

　　安娜酷愛大猩猩，無論是書籍、用品或房間裡，到處都是和猩猩有關的事物。她天天盼著爸爸能帶他到動物園看猩猩，但忙碌的爸爸卻抽不出空。就在安娜生日的夜奇妙的事情發生了……
 
　　這本書除了童趣，也反映出現代社會現象。安東尼布朗以細膩筆觸，刻畫出一個爸爸忙於賺錢的單親家庭中的小女孩。他並且營造出一個超現實世界，使主角內心寂寞在此宣洩。這樣的事界，可以開啟孩童的想像空間。其中探討的親子關係和單親問題，也值得省思。

But then something extraordinary happens ... the toy turns into a real gorilla, who puts on her father's hat and coat and takes her off for a magical visit to the zoo...
