Mother of GOrillas

I got the coolest gift from Melissa Stoller - the author of Ready, Set, GOrilla! Melissa had adopted a (real) gorilla in my name! I had been concerned at first - where would he live? My house is bursting at the seams with extra people and dogs.

And then, what happens if GOrilla challenges the dogs to a race?
Would he revert to his old ways and... GASP  ... CHEAT? 
Or if he challenged Minou (the cat)? Oh dear...


Yesterday, Lilah and I came home to find a package from the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) with this adorable little guy...


So I was incredibly relieved that this GOrilla! seemed very friendly - and non-competitive! He DID insist that he be allowed to take a Selfie...


... it makes him look much larger than he really is. Oh, wait - maybe he's more competitive than I realized!? Nah. Mostly he's very silly. And incredibly soft. And gives very nice hugs.

Is that the coolest present ever? THANKS MELISSA!!

And along with the arrival of GOrilla!, I got news that my shipment of Ready, Set, GOrilla! books would be arriving this coming week! YEAH! That means I have them listed on my Etsy shop again. They come with tattoos of the main characters and I will sign them and draw little sketches in them as well. Here are some samples:

  1. Happiest of Holidays to you and your family. I can't wait to give my grandson, Hunter, your wonderful book with your inscription, and tattoos. My hope is it will get passed on from generation, to generation.
    Your next book will be presented to baby # two, shown in today's "Reveal", to be a long-awaited for girl.
    This has to be the best ever New Year, for us and for you.
    Thanks again for your creativity and art,
    Kathy
