Walker Books, hardback, £10.99
Pink and white roses on the opening pages echo the traditional tale of Beauty and the Beast. But this time, the Beast is Browne's famous gorilla and Beauty is a little kitten. The two become inseparable after the gorilla signs to his keepers that he is lonely and wants a friend. When the gorilla smashes the TV and his keepers threaten to take Beauty away, the little kitten steps in to take the blame and so ensure Beauty and the Beast live 'happily ever after'.
A modern fairytale with tributes, too, to 'King Kong', the movie. Browne is a fantastic storyteller and illustrator and this wonderful new book is a must for any nursery collection.
