 Great for all ages July 14, 2008
As a fourth year University student, I found this book compelling for all ages. It is a heartwarming book that will truly touch readers who love primates, and those who just love animals in general.
Koko's Kitten May 7, 2008
Koko's Kitten, by Dr. Francine Patterson, is about a gorilla and a kitten. It's almost Koko's birthday. Penny helps Koko she wanted to give Koko a toy cat. But it didn't come in on time. So Penny gave it to Koko on Christmas. Koko didn't like the toy cat. So Penny gave her a real cat. Koko named the kitten Ball. Ball bit Koko and Koko called Ball obnoxious but Koko never hit back. Koko treated Ball like a baby. Koko combed Ball, and put him in her thigh like what a mother will do. Koko also painted Ball. Koko played games with Ball that Ball hated.
On a cloudy day Barbara told Penny that Ball got hit by a car and he was dead. Then Penny told Koko. And Koko was sad. Ten minutes later Penny heard Koko cry. Penny cried, too. Barbara asked Koko what she wanted for Christmas then Koko signs tiger cat. Then Penny shows Koko three drawings of cats. Koko picks a tailless Manx. On March 14 Koko got a red cat. Koko named it Lipstick. Koko was happy.
The theme about this book is about friendship. Koko always plays with Penny. And she always plays with Ball. Koko thought Ball was her baby so she put him in her thigh. They always played games. I like the way Koko didn't hurt Ball.

This is a wonderful story about the love and kindness creatures, nonhuman and human, can show towards each other. It is touching and meaningful for all ages. The photos are exceptional and the writing is down to earth.

koko 's kitten June 15, 2007
Koko is a gorilla and she like cats . She is good at sign language and she knows when is her
birthday. She knows how to read books about cats. If you give her a stuffed cat she will destroy it. She likes only real cats. So that's what the story is all about. I like this book because you can learn all about gorillas and how you can help them. I think that you should read this book because you can know about gorillas. by Edgard Walker
