Gorillas in the Couch

We've been on a Magic Tree House run these last few days: Tigers at Twilight, Afternoon in the Amazon, and Good Morning Gorillas. Yes, the theme is animals--they've been making zoos, drawing animal pictures to make a book, and then, yesterday, acted like gorillas. And I was the Mommy Gorilla, in charge of knit-picking (literally!), supplying leaves and berries, and leading the gorilla charge of chest-thumping, pounding the ground, and hooting if an invader like a black leopard (or domestic cat) appeared. We roamed our African rainforest, from downstairs to up, carpet to couches to beds. The Magic Tree House is, in more ways than one . . . .
