>>Koko is a famous sign-language-speaking gorilla. This is the true story of her friendship with a kitten. Readers see the gentle mind of an animal that wanted something to love, and be loved by. Striking photo images are combined with insightful writing to show - in fascinating detail - this remarkable animal connection.

The scientist-author tells of her experiences with Koko - a gorilla born in a zoo - and the many years of teaching her to communicate through sign language. Funny, touching stories tell of Koko's learning experiences and sense of humor.
