Simon has teamed up with the Smithsonian Institution to deliver the reader with an incredible insight on gorillas. There are only three types of gorillas in the world, the western lowland gorilla, the eastern lowland gorillas, and the mountain gorilla, and they all live in Africa. The only way to tell each species apart is based on the color of their hair. The book discusses the way gorillas communicate and travel. I like this book because the author writes in a way that compares humans to gorillas. It discusses how we have the same appendages, bones, and fewer teeth than gorillas have. This book along with the rest of the series highlights animals that are misrepresented through movies and television shows. I think this is extremely important to show students that movies are not real and most of the time gives false information about truly incredible creatures. Also, learning about seemingly frightening animals will diminish fear of the unknown. Any book in this series would be great to have in a classroom!
