From Booklist
Gr. 1^-3. Part of the Step into Reading series, this is a fascinating introduction to the behavior of gorillas, including where they live, what they eat, and how they move, sleep, care for their young, and defend themselves. There is also a section about Dian Fossey, one of the first to study wild gorillas, and the book ends with a plea to help save the African forests where the gorillas live. The sentences are clear and direct, the realistic illustrations are dramatic and colorful, and the amazing facts will keep new readers turning the pages for more.
