Synopsis "Little Beauty "

No one renders primates with more faithful detail or surreal humanity than Browne. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A USBBY Outstanding International BookAn Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award WinnerThree starred reviews (Booklist, Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal) Once there was a very special gorilla who had almost everything he needed. There was only one thing he didn't have: a friend. With no other gorillas at the zoo, the keepers try something new. Will the gigantic ape strike a bond with another sort of creature, one as tiny and innocent as a kitten? Sparked by the story of a real gorilla who learned to sign, Little Beauty is a celebration of a most surprising friendship.
