However, the events in between the action scenes focused on some of the not-so-important elements of the story that would generally not interest children. Kong takes Ann up to his mountain lair, where a giant snake emerges from a bubbling swamp and tries to strangle Kong, who kills it as well. When a group of people from Hollywood looking to make a great movie in a dangerous place arrive to Skull Island and disturb his peacefulness, Kong will react. Under the impression that the flashbulbs are attacking Ann, Kong breaks free of his bonds and escapes from the theater. I bought this for my nine year old son, who is a big fan of the film of King Kong, and he was riveted.

This is the first time 'Kong' had ever appeared as a book and a book Anthony Browne was destined to illustate. Up ahead in a jungle clearing, Kong places Ann in a high cleft of a dead upright tree, then goes back and confronts his pursuers as they are walking along the top of an enormous fallen tree trunk over a deep ravine.Anthony Browne has a distinct and sophisticated style; his representations of the world provoke your imagination and make you reevaluate the aesthetic of life. King Kong, coloso animal que habita en una isla lejana, es el protagonista de esta historia de aventuras, batallas entre las m s asombrosas criaturas, rescates arriesgados, momentos emocionantes y rom nticos.

Weakened and unable to hold on to the building, he gazes sadly at Ann one last time, before he loses his grip, and plummets to his death in the street below.

His recreation of the classic King Kong is a splendid example of his talent; the book is not just a representation of the movie but an original retelling of the story with emphasis on the antihero. Leer la historia como tal, recordemos que corresponde al novelista y dramaturgo Edgar Wallace, quien escribió el primer guion de King Kong en 1932, me llamó mucho la atención, porque le di una lectura con los ojos del presente. Anthony Browne is the acclaimed author and illustrator of such prize-winning bestsellers as Gorilla (winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Kurt Maschler Award), Willy the Wizard , My Dad , Voices in the Park (winner of Kurt Maschler Award) and Zoo (winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal). Unfortunately, I did find the book’s storyline quite slow and unexpectedly struggled to maintain interest in finishing the book myself.
