Good Night, Gorilla
Reading level:
Baby-Preschool
"Good night, Gorilla," says the zookeeper. But mischievous Gorilla isn't quite ready to go to sleep. He'd rather follow the zookeeper on his rounds and let all of the other animals out of their cages. Little night owls can sneak along with Gorilla and see who gets the last laugh in this riotous goodnight romp. Practically wordless yet full of expressive art and hilarious, adorable detail, this book is sure to become a beloved part of children's own bedtime rituals.
"In a book economical in text and simple in illustrations, the many amusing, small details, as well as the tranquil tome of the story, make this an outstanding picture book." --The Horn Book "A clever, comforting bedtime story."--School Library Journal |

While this is a very sweet book for bed time reading, I found its lack of words to make for a difficult experience for me as reader. My kids seemed to enjoy it well-enough, but it always bothered me to just be turning pages without reading any words. Just kind of an odd thing to do. I tried to companesate by asking them questions about what was happening on the page.
