What is Baby Gorilla Doing? by Christena Nippert-Eng- ESSENTIAL


Nippert-Eng, Christena. What is Baby Gorilla Doing?, BOARD BOOK. Henry Holt and Company, 2017. $8. 
Real photographs, paired with single verbs, tell us about all the things that baby gorilla is doing. We see baby gorilla eating, playing, reaching, smelling, and more. The pictures have not background and just show the gorilla and the one item he is interacting with. The last two pages show a compilation of all the things baby gorilla does in the book. It is really fun to see how the gorilla interacts with the world in real photographs and children will enjoy identifying with how the gorilla looks and moves and seeing the similarities in themselves.
