Recently we had the opportunity to check out the book Gorillas in Our Midst. It grabbed my boys attention the minute I read the first sentence.
Gorillas in Our Midst is a humorous picture book that’s perfect for kids aged 3 to 6, but I will say that my almost eight year old enjoyed this book as well! It’s the perfect read aloud for schools or at home. I enjoyed reading this book to the boys just as much as they enjoyed hearing it.
About the Book:
Gorillas can be hard to spot, because they are masters of disguise and really good at hiding. Gorillas often have jobs where they get to wear masks—that’s why so many gorillas are surgeons, astronauts, scuba divers, and ninjas. There are adult gorillas and kid gorillas. There are even gorillas that go to school with you. You may think you’ve seen a gorilla swinging by before, but it’s much more likely that he was an orangutan—orangutans are terrible at hiding. You will know when there are lots of gorillas living in your midst because the grocery stores will be entirely out of bananas. In fact, you should always carry a banana with you, because you never know when there might be a gorilla around.
What We Thought:
This book was a hit with both my seven and four year old. It takes you on a little journey on places where you may meet a gorilla, but you would never know. Only gorillas that aren’t going at disguises get found out! It’s a very fun and creative story and one that can let their imaginations go wild. And remember….always bring along bananas where ever you go!
Gorillas in our Midst is the perfect length for a bedtime story, but be warned….it can cause giggles for both parent and child! This book can be purchased for $12.91 (hardcover) and $9.59 (kindle)
