I never liked Gorillas r Monkeys, I found them to be loud and annoying and really a waste of my time.
This book was a gift to me. I read it despite the subject because it was part of the series and I loved that over the gorillas any day. Now, being older I could care less what my younger self thought and just read the book for what it was.
This was a nice book because it demonstrated love and friendship with again, non humans.

The Magic Tree House whisks Jack and Annie off to the mountains of Africa. There they run into a huge mountain gorilla! At first they don’t know whether they should shake hands or turn tail. But the ominous-looking creature turns out to be surprisingly gentle.
Once again Osborne introduces kids to some unusual topics: mountain gorillas and their habitat (mountain rain forest) the clouds and the environment gorillas live in, their habits, and diet. The other interesting topic introdu More...

This book, "Good Morning Gorillas," is a very good book. It is about this boy named Jack and his little sister named Annie. They went to the magic tree house and got sent to a misty rain forest in the mountains of Africa. There they saw a baby gorilla. Annie called him Bu Bu because he always said, "Bu Bu." Annie followed the gorilla, but Jack stayed back and took notes about the gorilla. Later Jack tried to find Annie but it got dark, so he went to sleep near a tre

In Good Morning, Gorillas by Mary Pope Osborne, Jack and Annie meet Jane Goodall and learn about sign language. It's one of the last books my son and I read together before moving onto longer and more complicated books.
They are sent into the jungle by the tree house to find a new way of communicating as one of Morgan's four-part spells. They quickly meet up with a group of gorillas. Their interaction with the creatures bring to the forefront a plot point that has been developing over More...

Osborne really shines when she writes about animals. This books is a perfect fantasy, every kid (and adult) who reads it is bound to imagine themselves playing with baby gorillas in the cloudy mountains. When the little gorilla took Jack by the hand I could almost feel the warm, dry palm in mine. It was also fun to see Jack be the brave one in this book. This was great adventure and a good learning experience about these beautiful, endangered animals.

Jack and Annie went to a cloud forest in Africa. A cloud forest is a type of rain forest. A tribe of Gorillas is led by a Silverback. A Silverback has a silver streak down it's back. In this story Jack and Annie meet a black leopard. They save a baby gorilla from the black leopard. Jack scares away the leopard by pounding his chest, howling, ripping leaves and branches off trees. The silverback did this to Jack!

It's about some kids named Jack and Annie and they met gorillas and they went in a tree house that was magic. They found that the magic tree house could go in time just by saying, "I wish I could go there," and find a picture of where they want to go in a book and point at it. And I like Jack because he writes down facts and I like Morgan LeFay.

This is one of the best Magic Tree House books in the series. It follows Osborne's regular formula but it moves quicker than the others and holds together well getting detailed without going over board for young readers.

I'm obviously too old for these books, [I'm 16] but they're like a guilty pleasure. I'm rating it three stars because they are basic and repetitive. However, they're great books for little kids!

I listened to this book on audio. Honestly, I had trouble paying attention to what was going on. My 8 year old son, however, loved it. He was smiling almost the whole time we were listening to it.

Another Magic Tree House book for my son. In this one Jack and Annie go to a cloud forest in Africa to visit mountain gorillas. Good book overall but I didn't like it when Jack scared off the leopard! Eek! The mama in me just couldn't!

We really enjoy this series, and although this book started off a bit slow, our girls really enjoyed Jack and Annie's interactions with the gorilla family. They loved the sign language and made up some more of their own while we were reading.
