Product Information

Este libro plantea la barbarie ejercida por el hombre civilizado que act a con mayor brutalidad que la "bestia" a la que combate. Taken from the only land he ever knew and stuck into manacles in loud, brassy New York City, he becomes the hero. When the gorilla leaves Ann to investigate the noise, a pterosaur swoops from the sky and clutches Ann in its talons. Hair-raising adventures providing endless thrills for the reader follow (just as in the film) until that now famous climax on that iconic building in New York . This 1994 publication was the very first time the famous monster movie of 1933 appeared in an illustrated format, which was surprising to me.

However, the events in between the action scenes focused on some of the not-so-important elements of the story that would generally not interest children.

Meanwhile, an Allosaurus approaches a terrified Ann, whose screams alert Kong, who rushes back and confronts the Allosaurus. Biography: Anthony Browne is the acclaimed author and illustrator of such prize-winning bestsellers as Gorilla (winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Kurt Maschler Award), Willy the Wizard, My Dad, Voices in the Park (winner of Kurt Maschler Award) and Zoo (winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal).

In 2009, Anthony was appointed Children's Laureate, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the world of picture books. It’s considered a Graphic Novel but is short enough that it could also hold a child's attention span. un giro a la historia de King Kong en el que im genes realistas refuerzan y expresan tanto las sensaciones como los sentimientos de los personajes.If any author was meant to produce a child friendly version of “King Kong,” it is certainly Anthony Browne – for whom illustrations of gorilla’s and other apes are his trademark. While a 1933 monster movie might seem like a bad idea as bed time story for your tyke, somehow Browne pulls it off. The events on Skull Island had me feeling quite sorry for Kong as he monotonously fought off new creature after creature at each turn of the page with no sign of a reprieve. Anthony brown has an incredible talent and the pure emotion that he creates with his artwork is very special. Its very popular with boys and my son has shown more interest in this book than any other Ive ever brought home.
