Review

This is one of our favourite boards for tiny children.  It is small - would almost fit in a pocket, and it is a board book: a baby would need to work quite hard to destroy it.  It shows the story in delightful pictures (and an occasional word bubble) of a gorilla who has not been locked into his cage as securely as the zoo keeper thought, and then goes round letting the other animals out.  They follow the keeper back home to his cosy bedroom.  As with the best books for small children, like Paul Zelinsky's The Wheels On The Bus hbk £12.99, each time you look you find new details that you missed.  It is a joy. - review by Johnny de Falbe
