Few can resist the art of Anthony Browne. His name on the cover guarantees sales to a multitude of parents, grandparents and doting aunts and uncles. His art is often times larger than life as is his skill in blending watercolors with stories that not only appeal to children but also often reflect feelings familiar to them.
Little Beauty is the charming story of a very unlikely friendship between a gorilla and a very small kitten named Beauty. The gorilla was extraordinary because he had been taught to use a sign language, thus he was able to tell his keepers what he wanted. He seemed to be quite comfortable with accouterment that other gorillas might only dream about. Nonetheless, he was very sad.
His keepers were puzzled until one day he signed to them, "I want a friend." They wondered what could be done as there were no other gorillas at the zoo. So, they gave him Beauty saying, "Don't Eat Her." Well, the gorilla loved Beauty, and this is the story of their friendship , as well as an excellent opportunity for youngsters to be reminded of the meaning of loyalty, protection, and love.

Both I & my granddaughter (2) love this book. It is very touching & teaches many things simply & effectively, about friendship, loyalty, care for other's feelings, how to 'read' other's feelings and so on, and the illustrations are superb.

After stumbling on Gorilla by Anthony Browne and being totally shocked by what I found I went in search of more of his work to see if my opinion of our new childrens laureate would change. Are all his childrens book dark scary and disturbing ?
Well this book was a pleasant surprise. A lonely Gorilla gets a kitten for company and friendship and after breaking the tv in a temper the kitten takes the blame so they can stay together. A take on King Kong with illustrations that blew me away and providing lots of points for discussion on friendship and unselfish behaviour. This one gets a thumbs up from me.
