Description
“Little monkeys will enjoy the rhyme and maybe pick up some new food vocabulary.” —Kirkus
From the author-illustrator team behind Go Go Gorillas comes this lively, rhyming read-aloud starring a baby gorilla who refuses to eat his dinner. Perfect for picky eaters everywhere!
It’s suppertime in the jungle, but Baby Gorilla refuses to eat anything Mama and Papa make for him—not banana chips with green guacamole or a piping-hot plate of plantain ravioli. He says no to a dish of bananas flambé and turns up his nose at banana soufflé!
Step into the kitchen and laugh at dish after zany dish in this picture book adventure that is sure to make story times—and meal times—fun!More Details

Kirkus Book Review
This baby gorilla's hungry, but he's awfully picky; what does he want?"Look up and you'll see 'em, high in the trees / Bright yellow bunches in ones, twos, and threes." The gorillas gather bananas for dinner, but first Baby needs a bath. Then Daddy swings in with a special treat! It's a grilled peanut-butter-and-banana sandwich (an Elvis A. Presley, natch). "That little gorilla pops out a pink tongue. / He seems pretty picky for someone so young." His parents guess he wants "something wild." They try bananas au gratin, banana chips, banana tandoori, bananas flamb, even banana sushi rolls.Baby won't touch them. His parents juice the fruits, bake 'em, and put them in fudgeall to no avail. With his parents exhausted on the floor, Baby grabs the last plain, untouched banana and gobbles it up! He never wanted anything fancy. Wensink and Wragg's follow-up to Go Go Gorillas (2017) riffs neatly on the theme of the picky eater with a rhymed fable that's a foodie fantasy. Bright dynamic illustrations, mostly full-bleed, crafted with acrylic and digital color swing through the jungle and the kitchen.Little monkeys will enjoy the rhyme and maybe pick up some new food vocabularyand so might their caregivers.
