About This Book:
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.

Clear Explanations
Gorillas (World’s Best Animal Dads) offers an age-appropriate explanation of how the father Silverback is responsible for finding food and protecting the family. The photographs are an amazing look at these furry animals. The explanations are simple and clear, but there is a glossary for added help if needed. The captions throughout make sure the photos are clear and engaging. Overall, this is a great nonfiction book about Gorilla dads for preschool-early elementary readers.
