Sue Hampton is the best author for children's books ever. Our whole family loves the story, very clever and interesting.
BRILLIANT! I love loads of Sue's books
A truly brilliant author, with so much talent. We will be reading her books for many years!
my 9 year old daughter loved this book! it was so refreshing seeing her engaged in reading on the sofa, bed, car.. she was both pleased and disappointed to finish the stories! something we can all relate with when finishing a really good read!
Lovely easy read and lets me into the world of Gorrillas and made a 50 year old man feel like a 4 year old child.
I like the way Sue embraces the 2 gorilla dimensions in one story book.
Sue Hampton is a brilliant author and Gorilla Dreams is another great achievement.
Although bought for a young member of the family I read this first with joy. If only books like this had been available when I was young. Ginny Moodie
