A sign-language-speaking gorilla befriends a kitten. It's all fun and games until the gorilla, offended by King Kong, destroys their TV. When caretakers come to rescue the kitten, she takes the blame, in a demonstration of loyalty and animal intelligence. Browne's subversive fable, warm and fuzzy on the outside, ferocious within, is illustrated with impeccable large-scale pictures.
