Big Gorilla: A Book of Opposites

Browne’s trademark humor and affinity for apes as representatives for human emotion work together beautifully here.

What’s the opposite of a not-so-hot book? This utterly beguiling offering.
—Kirkus Reviews

The “opposites” genre is a biggie in picture books. I’d be hard pressed to detail exactly what makes one work so well compared to another. But when it does work, it works like a charm. The delightful Big Gorilla works perfectly, with illustrations shifting from “together” to “alone” and “happy” to “sad” and so on with engaging creatures bringing the concepts beautifully to life. Irresistible.
