Big Gorilla: A Book of Opposites by

Anthony Browne

Summary

Anthony Browne lends his singular talent for rendering primates to a lovingly detailed concept book that will captivate readers both young and old.

What’s the opposite of old? Young! What’s the opposite of sad? Happy! Big or small, alone or together, the primates in this book of opposites are wonderfully unique, from gorillas to white-faced capuchins to orangutans. With Anthony Browne’s striking palette and flair for facial expressions, this celebration of the world of primates is sure to charm and entertain.

“To a man born without conscience, a soul-stricken man must seem ridiculous. To a criminal, honesty is foolish. You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous.”

John Steinbeck

“I knew when I had looked for a long time that I had hardly begun to see.”

Nan Shepard

“What a mistake, above all, it had been to believe that I couldn’t live without him, when for a long time I had not been at all certain that I was alive with him.”

Elena Ferrante

“Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else.”

George Orwell

“How short a time a person had to be alive, he thought. How long to be dead.”

Kate Grenville
