When Gorilla Goes Walking

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Shane Evans. Nineteen poems describe young Cecilia's relationship with her new cat, Gorilla--fierce, proud, and "rain-cloud gray." Gorilla is a fussy eater who disdains canned tuna (she prefers soul food); but she's also a comfort, especially when Cecilia's best friend moves away. The open page design, clean typeface, and bold, color-saturated illustrations combine to make an eye-catching book with as much personality as its feline hero.
