Everyone needs a little attention from time to time. Just ask our gorilla who will stop at nothing to be noticed by the boy with his eyes glued to the TV set. But for the gorilla, it’s going to take more than a quiet nudge to steal away the boy’s attention. When his usual antics fail to catch the boy’s eye—LOOK OUT! The gorilla has some other tricks up his sleeve.

Look！ 讓我聯想到另一本繪本Hug!。都是以小猩猩找尋愛與關心為題材。Look！裏面經常使用的字就是 “look” 和 “out”.  作者巧妙的使用這兩個字，描述小猩猩拿著書耍猴戲，喊 “look” 想引起看電視小男孩的注意，但試了幾次都沒有成功, 反而不小心砸壞了電視。小男孩警告 “look out!”, 最後生氣的喊 “out” 要小猩猩出去。直到電視壞了，小男孩拿起繪本閱讀，發現內容很吸引人，叫回小猩猩 “look”, 親密依偎一起共讀。翻到繪本封底，會看到小男孩和小猩猩睡著了的模樣，並標示著白底的 “out”這個字。沒錯，兩個小傢伙睡的都out of this world 了，不禁讓人會心一笑。--BY盧雯月教授
