The front cover has the title in big red, capital letters across the top of the page. Swinging from the letter A is a huge gorilla wearing an overcoat, red and white spotted bow tie and a trilby hat. He's holding a little girl in a green coat and red wellies under one arm. He has a kind, smiling face and the little girl doesn't look frightened at all she's smiling too! An orange tabby cat below them is less happy, in fact he's scared out of his wits! It's a clear, starry night with a full Moon. At the bottom of the page are the black outline shapes of houses, trees, hedges, a church and a gorilla.
