There's A Gorilla At The Door!

A riotous, animal-tastic story by Clare Helen Welsh (Poo! Is That You?, The Perfect Shelter) packed with engaging, characterful illustrations from the talented Sam Caldwell (A Parliament of Owls, Sheldon`s New Shell). Daphne`s mum and stepdad, Anthony, are throwing a family party. It`s going to be SO BORING! But when a gorilla knocks on the door, a rhino rolls in and a kangaroo pops up, Daphne realises that this party is going to get . . . WILD! In Daphne`s big animal family, everyone is different. But they all love to dance to the same beat. This joyous tale explores themes of belonging in a blended-family environment with a subtle nod to the interconnected animal family we all, as humans, share. In this light, funny read-aloud, children will love the accumulative animal action and will enjoy picking their favourite animal party guest! There`s a Gorilla at the Door! will delight readers of The Koala Who Could by Rachel Bright and Jim Field, You Can`t Take an Elephant on the Bus by Patricia Cleveland-Peck and David Tazzyman, and There`s Nothing Faster Than a Cheetah by Tom Nicoll and Ross Collins
