Such a precious book. All of us have felt the way the little girl in this book did. Wanting to be that special one picked out of the crowd. Heartwarming. A great choice for families, classroom and school libraries.

Have you ever felt ordinary? 

The Gorilla Picked Me! is about little Olive who felt ordinary, always picked last for teams at recess, and never a Valentine placed on her desk. Until one day at a dance with her daddy, she is picked from the crowd by the dancing gorilla. It is at that moment that Olive realizes -she is not ordinary! 

This fun and sentimental story shows how one small act of love can have a huge impact. 

There is a mystery in the story. Children love finding clues as to who is in that gorilla suit.
