First, I liked the map at the beginning of the book. For example, it shows where different types of gorillas are located. It also provides a color coordinated legend to represent western lowland gorillas, eastern lowland gorillas, and mountain gorillas. Plus, extra information on what an equator is and where it is on the map. I also liked the illustration of a gorilla with labels explaining the parts of a gorilla. For example, arrows are pointing to various parts of the gorilla with labels like mouth, jaw, thirty two teeth, etc. This image shows readers the similarities and differences humans and gorillas' bodies have. One thing that I didn't like about the book was how busy the pages seemed. For example, the illustrations cover every page, without any negative spaces. The text is placed somewhere in the background of the illustrations, making it hard to read. Also, text boxes are placed anywhere on the page, creating even more words on the page, making the book overwhelming. The big idea of the book is to inform readers of gorillas in a colorful and bright way. ( ) Gorillas by Gail Gibbons The author introduces us to gorillas in simple sentences with more information incorporated into her illustrations, using maps, captions, and additional text. She discusses gorilla behavior, why they are endangered, their habitat and how they interact with the world, and their family groupings. A final note gives more information about gorillas. While I really enjoyed Gibbons’ recent nonfiction weather books, Tornadoes and Hurricans, I was disappointed in this title. Gibbons’ swirling illustrations (I’m going to go out on a limb and guess watercolors) are not detailed enough to fully delineate the accompanying text – for example, the page that shows gorillas’ emotions has four gorilla faces in panels, supposedly demonstrating “happy, worried, angry, aggressive” but the pictures are confusing; all of the faces and attidues look alike. Again, the illustrations supposedly showing different species of gorillas all look alike, as do the male and females. The map at the beginning bleeds into the other illustrations and inset panels of additional information and pictures make the pages crowded and bewildering. Verdict: Gibbons’ factual books are generally well-received, but her art falls short in this volume and the confusing layout makes this book a disappointment. Not recommended.
