Items related to One Gorilla: A Counting Book
Here is a list of the things I love.
One gorilla.
Two butterflies among my flowers--and one gorilla.
Tree budgerigars in my house--and one gorilla.
One very playful gorilla keeps popping up in gardens, forests, jungles, and even people's houses as he takes the reader on a wild counting adventure. He hides--as much as a gorilla can!--along with all the other creatures as they dart, leap, and peer from the most surprising places, waiting to be counted. A chart at the end of the book provides a key to all the animals and their corresponding numbers.
Soft, precise illustrations characterize this colorful counting book. One Gorilla is a 1990 New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Book of the Year.

About the Author:
ATSUKO MOROZUMI was born in Japan and currently lives in England. She is also the author of My Friend Gorilla.
From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 1-- In this beautifully illustrated counting book, a narrator lists beloved things, including a gorilla, butterflies, pandas, etc. To imagine a child daydreaming about different animals, picturing them in their various habitats, will conjure up a good idea of what this picture book is like. The illustrations, delicately drawn but vividly colored, have a misty quality to them that adds to the air of fantasy. A whimsical gorilla stands in for the narrator, journeying through home, fields, forests, the sea, and even snowy China, counting off a new collection of animals along the way. The pictures delightfully capture the personality of each animal. Searching out the creatures in each two-page spread is enjoyable and moderately challenging. Since the illustrations leave unobtrusive white spaces for the text, the words stand out crisply and are easy to read. A major flaw in the design, however, is that not enough space is allowed in the illustrations for binding. The transition between some pages is choppy (the two parts do not meet correctly), and in one case a bird that is supposed to be counted is almost swallowed up into the gutter. Nevertheless, the technical distractions are not serious enough to outweigh the positive aspects of this appealing book. --Lucinda Snyder Whitehurst, County of Henrico Public Library--Fairfield Area Library, Richmond, VA
