Title: Love this book about a curious purple Gorilla!
Review: Derek Anderson strikes again! The illustrator of the popular Little Quack series branches out and both writes and illustrates this book -- which is a pure delight! The book is visual candy from beginning to end -- the banana endsheets look so lush I wanted to scratch and sniff -- but it's not a scratch and sniff book! My own kids are past the age of picture books, but this is one I had to read to them anyway! A particularly pleasing point of the book was an afterword by the author illustrator himself, who told about the genesis of the story -- its little touches like this that lift a great book into a personal book. And I won't give away the special "ingredient" in the afterword that brought a smile to my face --and sent me to the kitchen!
