Illus. in full color. "Children feel neglected when parents are preoccupied with other concerns, and young Hannah is no exception. But Hannah has an imaginative outlet--she adores gorillas.

An exuberant story of a lonely girl and a winsome ape."--(starred) School Library Journal.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. This is a pristine and unread copy from the second printing of the first edition of a book in which the artist signed and drew a one-of-a-kind gorilla sketch on a blank page interior page during an event when I escorted him on one of his few events in American bookstores. The book has been stored in light-free archival conditions since then. Please see my attached photos. This is the most famous book by the award-winning author-illustrator. Signed by Illustrator(s).
