Illustrated by
Chad Geran.
Little gorilla Willy considers several new animal identities: e.g., "If Willy strides outside / and roars with pride, / will Willy be a lion? / Will he?" Geran, using preschool-friendly bold, flat colors, gives Willy's misguided animal impersonations the élan of the cartoon world's better pratfallers. Having succumbed to Willy's charms, readers will gladly add their voices to this book's chorus: "No. / Still a gorilla!"
