When eight-year-old Eunice overhears her parents talking about a gorilla for her birthday, she's sure her first pet is going to be gigantic, hairy... and living in her bedroom. Determined to prove she's responsible enough, Eunice spends days researching (or at least trying to), rearranging her room, and building the perfect gorilla bed-all while worrying about tater tot casserole, dance parties, and life with a very large roommate.As excitement turns into epic overthinking, Eunice's imagination runs wild with what-ifs, worst-case scenarios, and one very dramatic dream. But when the big surprise finally rolls in on wheels, she discovers that what she thought she heard wasn't what her parents meant at all... and that the pet she actually gets might just be the hero of her story.Packed with humor, heart, and a twist kids will love, I Don't Want a Gorilla is a delightful read-aloud about misunderstandings, anxiety, and speaking up for what you really want. Perfect for ages 5-9, this picture book is ideal for families, classrooms, and anyone who's ever worried themselves silly over a surprise.
