Overview

In a cool, misty rain forest, a gorilla family is starting its day. As the group's females forage for food, babies and young gorillas chase, play in the trees, and tumble in the undergrowth. All this everyday activity is watched by the family's leader--a huge, 400-pound, male silverback gorilla. Discover how a father gorilla protects his family of mothers and babies. Watch as he leads his family through the forest to find food and places to rest. And see how this huge, powerful animal wrestles, cuddles, and plays with his young, patiently letting them tease him and use him for climbing practice! This book introduces young animal lovers to a gorilla family and the important role of its leader--one of the animal kingdom's true gentle giants.
