One Gorilla: A Counting Book

Description

Count from one to ten with Anthony Browne's stunning apes and primates. In this elegant 1-10 counting board book, Anthony Browne out-does himself with a vivid presentation of primates from gorillas to gibbons, macaques to mandrills, ring-tailed lemurs to spider monkeys. With his striking palette, exquisite attention to detail and quirky flair for facial expressions, the former children's laureate slyly extends the basic number concept into a look at similarities and differences - portraying an extended family we can all count ourselves part of, and a home planet that we should all try to protect.

Anthony Browne is an internationally acclaimed author/illustrator who has won many prizes for his work, including the Hans Christian Andersen Award for his services to children's literature - the first British illustrator to win the prize since 1956. He was Children's Laureate for two years and is an ambassador for children's books around the world.
