A classic picture book by a Hans Christian Andersen Award-winner.

Hannah loves gorillas but has never seen one. Her father's too busy to take her to the zoo - or for anything else come to that.

For her birthday, Hannah asks her father for a gorilla - but is disappointed when she discovers that the gorilla she's got is just a toy one.

But then something extraordinary happens...the toy turns into a real gorilla, who puts on her father's hat and coat and takes her off for a magical visit to the zoo.

The next morning Hannah's happiness is complete when her father takes her to the zoo, too.
