From the Inside Flap
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.
