About this book

Will Willy be another type of animal?
No!
Still a gorilla!

In this fun, zany picture book, Willy the Gorilla imitates other animals at the zoo, including a lion, a walrus, a billy goat, an alligator, and a kangaroo. But pretending to be something he is not never works out. What if he just tried to be
himself?

In the end, Willy is still a gorilla -- and that's something everyone can appreciate! Still a Gorilla! is a funny, wacky, rhyming picture book that teaches the importance of being yourself.

Reviews

Praise for I Know a Wee Piggy by Kim Norman and illustrated by Henry
Cole:

*"This is a blue ribbon-worthy read-aloud opportunity for celebrating rhyme,
repetition, rural traditions, laughter -- and, of course, color. The star's earnestness is
irresistible, and both text and pictures are rich and energetic." -- Booklist, starred
review

Praise for Puddle Pug by Kim Norman and illustrated by Keika
Yamaguchi:

"Through playful, alliterative sentences, as well as simple rhyme, Norman carries
children... on a curious journey to define home -- and the 'perfect puddle.' A
read-aloud that charmingly explores the depths of friendship, security, and
community." -- Booklist

Praise for Ten on the Sled by Kim Norman and illustrated by Liza
Woodruff:

"What with animal identification, counting, vocabulary building and print awareness
all scaffolded on a can't-lose rhyme, this one's a keeper." -- Kirkus Reviews
