Description: A lovely story of friendship told by Anthony Browne, one of the world's greatest picture book authors! This is the 125th book in the 'Ibook World Picture Book' series, 'We Are Friends.' It's a beautiful and touching picture book depicting the friendship between a gorilla and a cat—two animals who, based on their appearance and size, don't seem like they'd get along at all. This picture book tells the story of a special gorilla living in a zoo who becomes friends with a small cat named 'Pretty.' When the zoo staff, alarmed by a certain action of the gorilla, try to take him away because they think he's dangerous, a certain gesture from 'Pretty' reminds everyone of the true meaning of friendship. Once upon a time, there lived a special gorilla in a zoo. The gorilla could communicate using hand signs. So whenever there was something he wanted, he would use hand signs to tell the zoo staff. It seemed like the gorilla had everything he could ever need. But the gorilla was sad. He needed a friend. The gorilla used hand signs to tell the zoo staff that he needed a friend, since he was the only gorilla in the zoo. After much thought, the zoo staff brought him a small cat named 'Pretty.' The gorilla liked Pretty right away. So they did everything together and built up their happiness day by day... Hardcover. ☞ A Tip for Parents and Teachers! After reading 'We Are Friends' with your children, take some time to talk about the true meaning of friendship. Through conversations like, "You helped me up when I fell," or "You lent me a crayon I didn't have," or "You waited for me when I went to the bathroom," children will learn how to build friendships of their own.
