Daphne的媽媽和繼父Anthony要辦一場家庭派對，她一想到就覺得無聊透頂。沒想到門鈴一響，一隻大猩猩站在門口，接著犀牛滾進來、袋鼠跳出現，派對瞬間變成熱鬧又瘋狂的動物派對！在這個「動物大家庭」裡，每個成員都長得不一樣、個性不同，卻能一起隨著音樂跳舞、分享歡樂。故事用誇張有趣的動物角色，描繪重組家庭中的接納與歸屬感，也提醒孩子：不論外表如何不同，我們都能成為彼此的家人。這是一個輕快、幽默、充滿笑聲的歡樂故事。

A riotous, animal-tastic story by Clare Helen Welsh (Poo! Is That You?, The Perfect Shelter) packed with engaging, characterful illustrations from the talented Sam Caldwell (A Parliament of Owls, Sheldon's New Shell).

Daphne's mum and stepdad, Anthony, are throwing a family party. It's going to be SO BORING! But when a gorilla knocks on the door, a rhino rolls in and a kangaroo pops up, Daphne realises that this party is going to get . . . WILD!

In Daphne's big animal family, everyone is different. But they all love to dance to the same beat.

This joyous tale explores themes of belonging in a blended-family environment with a subtle nod to the interconnected animal family we all, as humans, share. In this light, funny read-aloud, children will love the accumulative animal action and will enjoy picking their favourite animal party guest! There's a Gorilla at the Door! will delight readers of The Koala Who Could by Rachel Bright and Jim Field, You Can't Take an Elephant on the Bus by Patricia Cleveland-Peck and David Tazzyman, and There's Nothing Faster Than a Cheetah by Tom Nicoll and Ross Collins.
