Holy cuteness. Animal books are a favorite in my house and this is one of the best I’ve seen.
Willy is a young gorilla who wants to see what it’s like to live as the other animals in the zoo do. He imitates various animal behaviors, much to the delight of the two-year-old beside me. It’s a silly, fun book about being who you are. Sillyness is a winning strategy when dealing with you minds.

After he imitates each animal, there’s a page that says “Still a Gorilla”. After the first time or two, the youngster beside me was yelling that at the same time as me and giggling her little head off. I wouldn’t recommend this right before bed, because it incites laughter and gives kids way too much energy before bed. Instead, read it when it’s time for fun, when reading can be in place of watching TV or when you want your kid to sit still because the book will captivate them with its adorable images.

This is now a go to children’s book for me for a lot of reasons, the biggest being that it’s far too cute not to be.
