- John D Gorilla at the Cheltenham Races
For parents looking for the perfect bedtime read or to help children gain confidence in reading.
When John D comes from the jungles of Africa to a village in the Cotswolds, he thinks it is very exiting to watch a charity horse race.
It is exciting for the horses too. They have never seen a gorilla before.
In the heat of the race, a jockey takes a tumble and makes John D fall out of his tree ... Right onto the back of a galloping horse!
This is the third book in Claudia and Katherine MacInnes' series about a real-life gorilla and the adventures he had in and around his home in the Cotswolds one hundred years ago. John D's story has been designed so that his book can be read by one person or the lines can be shared between a parent and their child - perfect for cosy cuddles and new readers who need to gain confidence...
