The story of Koko the gorilla who communicates using sign language.
Great color photos.

I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about animals. Children and adults will both enjoy this book. This book introduces us to gorillas. I liked learning about how smart gorillas are and that they are very gentle animals. Dr. Patterson teaches Koko and Michael to communicate through sign language. It was fun reading about them learning words and how sometimes they'd get up to mischief.
