세계의 수많은 어린이들과 어른들로부터도 사랑을 받는 Anthony Browne의 그림책입니다.
동물원에 사는 고릴라는 원하는 모든 것을 동물원 관리인들이 가져다 주기 때문에 부족함이 없이 풍족하게 살고 있습니다. 소파, 텔레비젼, 커피, 햄버거... 원하는 모든 것을 갖추고 살고 있지만 고릴라는 행복하지 않습니다. 친구가 없기 때문이죠. 고릴라가 관리인들에게 친구가 필요하다고 말하자, 동물원에 다른 고릴라가 없기 때문에 고양이 한 마리를 고릴라의 우리 안에 넣어 주었습니다. 관리인들의 우려와는 달리 고릴라와 고양이는 서로를 의지하는 친구가 되고, 행복한 나날을 보냅니다. 하지만 어느날 킹콩 영화를 보던 고릴라가 킹콩이 죽는 장면을 보고는 화가 나서 텔레비젼을 때려 부숴버리자, 관리인들은 벌로 고양이를 데려 가려고 하고...

Book Description
With his hyper-realistic artwork full of striking detail, the award-winning Anthony Browne tells a story of an unlikely friendship. Once there was a very special gorilla who had almost everything he needed. There was only one thing he didn’t have: a friend. With no other gorillas at the zoo, the keepers try something new. Will the gigantic ape strike a bond with another sort of creature, one as tiny and innocent as a kitten? Sparked by the story of a real gorilla who learned to sign, LITTLE BEAUTY is a celebration of a most surprising friendship.
School Library Journal
This reworking of the classic tale of a beast transformed by unconditional love depicts the protagonist as a lumbering gorilla and Beauty as a petite cat. A red rose on the title page hints at what's to come. But wait! Alert readers will recognize this relationship, these very poses: here are Hanabi-Ko and All Ball from the real-life story of the sensitive, signing gorilla described by Francine Patterson in Koko's Kitten (Scholastic, 1985). Browne melds fact and fiction into a story that reads simply, but offers layers. Luscious, creamy pages provide contrast for the large, well-spaced font and the dark, furry figure that often bleeds off the page. Watercolor and pencil renderings capture the animal in moments of profound loneliness and extreme anger; he reacts to King Kong by smashing the TV in a page red with rage. Zookeepers fear for Beauty's safety, but her surprising intervention saves the day. Children will chuckle as they view the pair doing everything together, from using the bathroom to swinging from the lamp, like the mythical figure flying too close to the sun. (Bruegel's Fall of Icarus hangs in the background.) Browne's exquisite interpretation of a real-life gorilla is a welcome progression. |
