One Gorilla: A Counting Book

One Gorilla: A Counting Book by Morozumi, Atsuko. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780374456467.

Here is a list of the things I love. One gorilla. Two butterflies among my flowers--and one gorilla. Tree budgerigars in my house--and one gorilla. One very playful gorilla keeps popping up in gardens, forests, jungles, and even peoples houses as he takes the reader on a wild counting adventure. He hides--as much as a gorilla can!--along with all the other creatures as they dart, leap, and peer from the most surprising places, waiting to be counted. A chart at the end of the book provides a key to all the animals and their corresponding numbers. Soft, precise illustrations characterize this colorful counting book. One Gorilla is a 1990 New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Book of the Year.
