A must-have for gorilla lovers July 15, 1999
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is a must have book for anyone who loves gorillas. It chronicles the heartwarming story of a baby gorilla & his family as they travel to their new home showing how they adapt to their new environment.The book starts off with the tale of Cenzoo, the baby gorilla, who was abandoned & near dead. It details his and his families (him & mother, another female, & a silverback male) airplane adventure to their new home in a Denver zoo. The story continues to follow the lives of the gorilla family as they acclimate to their new home. There are many observations about how a gorilla's behavior differs in captivity versus in the wild. I really like how each gorilla's personality traits were described. I truly felt as if I got to know each of the gorillas. Lots of time is also given the plight of the vanishing gorillas & what is being done to help.

Absorbing, thought-provoking, informative, well-written! Wish it was longer -- with more details about the author's experience with the gorillas in Rwanda and well as more pictures of the Primate Panorama and Cenzoo's daily activities. I've put a visit to the zoo on my travel list.
