Gary is a little gorilla. He thinks that food can be used for so many things other than eating. Gary must be told many times during the meal: No Gary, no!

In this first Gary book, children can take on the role of a parent and feel more in control than reckless Gary... The family can think back on Gary’s crazy behavior and compare it to the clever child who is SO much better at their table manners!

PRAISE
"Situations related to eating are often very emotional in the everyday lives of families with children. That's why many children's books about eating are also well suited for practicing emotional skills. [...] The defiant gorilla Rane might not be the best food teacher in the opinion of an adult, but a child is guaranteed to have fun with it... Hannamari Ruohonen's long-limbed, expressive and agile Rane is a cool new picture book character." - Päivi Heikkilä-Halttunen, Children's book shelf
