Priscilla Gorilla by Barbara Bottner and
Michael Emberley (2017)
Fans of “Miss Brooks Loves Books” won’t be disappointed
with Priscilla, a similarly spirited youngster who clashes with her teacher
over her exuberant love of gorillas. Certain that gorillas get their way,
Priscilla resists following instructions in her class, and keeps ending up in
the “Thinking corner.” A great read for class visits and older storytime
groups, Priscilla learns her lesson, but inspires others as well.
Themes/topics: being yourself, behavior, school,
gorillas
Sample text from one spread:
“Why do you love
gorillas so much?” Her mother asked.
“They always get
their way,” said Priscilla.
“Hmmm,” said her
mother. “You already get your way a lot.”
“Not in Mr. Todd’s
class. I was teaching lily my gorilla dance during nap time and Mr. Todd
invited me to the Thinking Corner,” Priscilla explained.
“Did you do any
thinking?”
“I was thinking how
I don’t like the Thinking Corner.
