Amazing!
I love this book! It's an amazing story of an Uncle, whose name is Sid, and a boy named Eric and Gertrude the gorilla, who Eric and Sid love. The story is fascinating! The main plot is that Gertrude the gorilla, who lives in the zoo, is going to be given a lethal shot that will kill her, but Uncle Sid and Eric love her too much for her to die, so they think of a brilliant plan to save her. And that's just the starting. From that, the story builds up. It's a great read for anyone of any age. I highly recommend it.

It looks great, it has amazing illustrations, a great story which includes real life events, the list goes on. Overall this book is 10/10 and you should read it
