I called his name . . . I settled on a bench . . . I was amazed . . . I felt really, really happy . . . Four people enter a park, and through their eyes we see four different visions. There's the bossy woman, the sad man, the lonely boy, and the young girl whose warmth touches those she meets. As the story moves from one voice to another, their perspectives are reflected in the shifting landscape and seasons. This is an intriguing, multi-layered, enormously entertaining book that demands to be read again and again. A Family Life Critic’s Choice Award winner, Voices in the Park uses radically different perspectives to give fascinating depth to an otherwise simple story. Review: A Unique Read Aloud - This book was used for teaching point of view and perspective. The illustrations are engaging. It also encourages constructive conversation among students. Review: Great for Point of View - Wow, what a great story is "Voices in the Park!" 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! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #143,421 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #802 in Children's New Experiences Books #1,220 in Children's Nature Books (Books) #7,101 in Children's Literature (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 649 Reviews | ## Images ![Voices in the Park - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818-epHo9lL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Unique Read Aloud *by M***2 on May 24, 2026* This book was used for teaching point of view and perspective.

Not your average kids' book! *by R***R on August 19, 2025* I like using this book with both elementary school and senior high students. Browne uses four different characters to describe the same encounter in the local park, but each teller has a point of view that paints a very different experience. Using color and images and shapes and even different fonts and styles of speaking for different narrators, it's a great example of "voice" in literature, as well as character's POV. There are a bunch of almost Freudian things in the pictures and even adults go back and say, "Wait, what's that?" when re-reading. Brilliantly done. ## 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.tn/products/2358092-voices-in-the-park](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2358092-voices-in-the-park) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
