"As I read this book I was thinking it was referring to a gorilla I have heard about learning to sign for communication. I thought was a cool concept to take a real event and turn into a childrens story. I thought it had a really weird twist with no consequences and did not like the endings. I also felt that the illustrations were inconsistent and on various pages looked like another illustrator threw their images in. I guess since I knew of this actual gorilla I was hoping for a more accurate account of its life."
"When I started this book, I thought it was one of those based-on-a-true-story books since I have heard of gorillas learning sign language. When the kitten started signing, it lost me."
"This was a cute story of friendship (I wonder if it's based on Cocoa). I loved the illustrations. My husband got to read it to our son, so I'm not sure what his reaction was, but he did say he liked it."
"This simply told story is sophisticated in so many ways. The main character, a gorilla, uses sign language to communicate. He is sad because he does not have a friend. The zoo keepers take care of this by giving him a small little cat named Beauty. From this point, we are shown what true friendship means. The reader experiences humour, excitement and even a touch of sadness before book ends. A child can relate to the friends watching television together and laugh when they each go to the bathroom. Browne's outstanding drawings can be fully appreciated in several wordless pages. Some pages show the gorilla or cat drawn with simple lines combined with complex patterned backgrounds, while others show a very detailed gorilla and cat on plain white backgrounds. In this book each word counts and each picture delights."
