This book is such a creative, funny, and entertaining way to learn the importance of saying please. Buy it, you'll love it!             Gorilla, My Love12 reviews Toni Cade Bambara Vintage, 1992 "Here we are . . . the Johnson girls." The posted reviews make clear that students are being asked to read this book at too young an age. I teach the book to my college students, and they too struggle with the stories, which are sometimes puzzling. At a first go-through, the reader is in the position of the two Northerners in "Mississippi Ham Rider," who go down South to interview a famous blues singer and get tested by locals who ...             Songs of the Gorilla Nation: My Journey Through Autism24 reviews Dawn Phd Prince-Hughes Three Rivers Press, 2005 Spellbinding I was spellbound by Songs of the Gorilla Nation, a beautifully written memoir of a young woman who has Asperger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism. Although she has difficulty communicating and interacting in person, she is a remarkably eloquent writer, and is able to describe and provide profound insight into the thought processes and experiences of people who have the syndrome. She describes ...             One Gorilla: A Counting Book4 reviews Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 1993 Just a lovely preschool book! The art work in this lovely book is incredible. It also lends itself to reading and re-reading. For the youngest children, you can point at different parts of the lovely pictures (they are set in different seasons and environments), and as they mature, you can "hunt" for the different animals in each picture. (one gorilla, two budgerigars,...nine cats...). A true gem!             Little Gorilla Book & Cassette (Read Along Book & Cassette)23 reviews Ruth Lercher Bornstein Clarion Books, 1995 Everybody loved him I bought Little Gorilla on a whim because my son loves gorillas and at the time it was the cheapest board book on the shelf. I had no idea that it would soon become one of his favorite books as well as one that he would soon commit to memory. Little Gorilla is a delightful tale of a young gorilla who is loved by "just about everyone in the great green forest". When he suddenly begins to grow ...             In the Kingdom of Gorillas: Fragile Species in a Dangerous Land11 reviews Bill Weber, Amy Vedder Simon & Schuster, 2002 An honest look at Gorilla history and research Mountain Gorilla conservation and protection is a tenuous, difficult and sad story of the plight of these wonderful, intelligent beings. The truth of Dian Fossey's last years is also painful to digest. This book is forthright and eye-opening.             Good Night Gorilla Gift Box167 reviews Putnam Juvenile, 2003 Wonderful! My 14-month old son runs to the bookshelf, grabs this book, and thrusts it in our direction to read to him over and over again - he just can't get enough of it! My husband and I have each read it to him dozens of times and happily we aren't bored of it either; the illustrations are excellent, and the story is creative and funny. I highly recommend this book.             If I Had a Gorilla1 review Gingham Dog Press, 2002 Great predictable book for young readers I had this book in my classroom for years and it was a favorite of emergent readers. The story was one that young children related to well as it tapped into their imagination and desires to be in control in scary situations. The predictable text was also great for my students who needed a scaffold to be successful readers. Why is it out of print?             Good Morning, Gorillas (Magic Tree House #26)10 reviews Mary Pope Osborne Random House Books for Young Readers, 2002 MY BOY LOVES READING IT My 1st grader hates to put it down, he would rather read Magic Tree House books, than play video games. He even reads them to his class and explains the story for show and tell. In his kindergarten class the teacher would also let him read the Magic Tree House books out loud, not to give her a break, but to promote reading out loud. Great books!             Gorillas in the Mist21 reviews Dian Fossey Mariner Books, 2000 Murder in the Mist Solved?

Schaller University Of Chicago Press, 1997 Fascinating story This is the fascinating story of the author's expedition to study Mountain Gorillas in 1959-60.
