What a delight to find such a clever presentation of point of view and how the companion attitude changes setting and dynamics of character. Wow again!When I first opened the book, I thought, oh no, Planet of the Apes revisited. The anthropomorphic characters are gorillas; their offspring look like chimpanzees. But once in the story, the reader forgets the "color of their skin" to see into their hearts. That's where truth lies, as Martin L. King, Jr. so accurately told us long ago.The literature teacher in our small Catholic school asked, not long ago, for a book on point of view. I gave her Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Bears Should Share! (Another Point of View) and The Three Billy Goats Gruff/Just a Friendly Old Troll (Another Point of View), both written with another perspective, Goldilocks and the Troll. However, "Voices in the Park" is much better!Anthony Browne utilizes color, objects and setting to demonstrate point of view. The first voice is that of staid, uptight gorilla mom, well-to-do, with a pedigree dog and well-groomed little boy. She is none too happy to share a park bench with a seemingly down-and-out gorilla man. His is the second voice, one of despair, but he takes his son and dog to the park anyway. Then the two children have voices, the boy gradually cracking open his shell, the "rough" girl alive with energy and gaiety.Here's an example of Browne's use of artistry to display emotion: Gorilla mom looks at her son at the moment when he hands something to the girl (the scene on the book cover). All she sees is her son. During the girl's voice, that same scene is aglow with warmth and light because of the touching gesture."Voices in the Park" will well serve our literature teacher, but more so bright children who will see and understand point of view and attitude and friendship and dogs running free in the park! Oh yes, this book is a keeper! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne *by K***N on August 25, 2013* This book is a day in the park as seen by four separate voices. Reading it feels a bit like being part of a musical quartet--each voice adds something different to the overall story line. As always with a book illustrated by Anthony Browne, you will be rewarded as you study the pictures on each page. Magical and whimsical images are everywhere. If you read this book to a child, have fun varying your voice as you read each of the four characters--it makes it even more fun! The story line in the book is appealing to a child and also speaks to adults. This book is a special and beautiful creation! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-read for children & adults *by S***A on May 3, 2008* Many mention the writing convention of "point of view" as a strong point of this book,and it is, but few reviewers mention the complex themes and issues that arise from this book. The illustrations are worth more than the cost of the book, as one reviewer put it. However, I found that the subtle ways in which this book invites the reader to ponder socio-economic class, child-parent relationships, financial struggle, and the innocence of childhood to be much more thought-provoking. I appreciate how the characters are not people--they are not of any certain ethnic background. I appreciate the detail to diction. Mostly, I appreciate the simplicity of the ending and what it says about how we all might view things when all is said and done at the end of the day. ## Frequently Bought Together - Voices in the Park - Mr. Tiger Goes Wild - Where Are You From? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2358092-voices-in-the-park](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2358092-voices-in-the-park) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
