Product Description

Product Description

'Well, hello and welcome, I'm Vincent, that's me. The most gorgeous gorilla you'll ever see. All of me's fabulous, but the bit I love best ...is my gloriously hairy, furry chest!' When Vincent's celebrated chest hair starts to dwindle and fall out, his verve for life takes an unexpected sky dive, too. But his friends soon find a way to put the cheer back into Vincent's world view and the way he sees himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilariously funny . vincent the vain, 15 Mar 2009
My 5 year old laughs hysterically at this book. She finds it very amusing and has had me read it numerous times this week. We borrowed it from our local library. Its easy to read, follow and understand, the pictures are good too. A very funny tale which is bound to put a smile on your face.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun story with a surprise ending, 1 Jan 2009
By mum's the word (Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
this is a fun, colourful picture book about Vincent the vain gorilla who gradually looses his chest hair and worries about how this will effect his friendships. Each page has a lovely bright illustration and an ever decreasing amount of real fur to tickle.

The rhyme is good but a little clunky in places (not quite Julia Donaldson) and the "message" about friends loving you however you look a bit too contrived, but Vincent is such a great character and the ending such good fun that it really doesn't matter. My 2 & 5 yr old boys certainly didn't care!

recommended.
