Editorial Reviews:
Good Night, Gorilla won the 1994 Cuffie for "Most Likely to Succeed in Years Ahead" and has more than lived up to that prediction, becoming a modern classic that is a must in every child's library.

This perfect package will give kids the opportunity to cuddle up with an adorable plush gorilla while they are enjoying his secret bedtime antics.

Summary: First book to generate a laugh
Comment: My son has been reading this since he was 8 mos old, he loves to look at the pictures (there are minimal words) while I describe what is going on. At about 11 mos, when he got to the page where the zookeeper's wife finds Gorilla in bed, he laughed out loud! It's so cute to see him "get it."

As he gets older, there are many smaller details in the pictures that will catch his attention, so it's a nice book that will grow with him.

Summary: Perfect Book for Bedtime
Comment: Goodnight Gorilla is a perfect bedtime book or for those young children just learning to read. The book has colorful illustrations and repetitive phrases that make it easy for young ones to understand and follow along.

Goodnight Gorilla follows a zoo keeper as he says goodnight to all the animals. The gorilla swipes his keys and lets all the animals out, which of course, follow the zoo keeper home and into his bedroom at night. My 2 year old thinks its hilarious. Its one of his favorite books. I'm so glad we got it. Its a real hit.

Summary: He loves it!
Comment: What a winner this book is! Great pictures. The repetitive phrases are repeated over and over by my liitle tyke. He has to hear it every night before bedtime and repeats the words as they are read.

Summary: Another bedtime favorite for young boys
Comment: My two sons (ages 5 and 4) have enjoyed this book for the last two years. While there isn't much text, the illustrations are so playful that we can't help but read the book as a three-person bedtime performance.

I can't speak for what little girls find funny but little boys find nothing more humorous than a gorilla climbing into bed.

Summary: An amazingly detailed story with minimal words
Comment: This book is a keeper for all ages. Young children (and I mean really young, you'd be amazed at who will pay attention to these illustrations) can point out details and ideas with very few prompts. You can simplify your language when telling this story to a 15 month old, and then expand your vocabulary and sentence levels for older children. Even kindergarteners love this book. They can re-tell the story without being able to read. They can answer questions about characters, motivations, predictions. Please do not let the fact that there are not a lot of "written words" turn you off from this story. Every good storytime reader knows that descriptions, questions, and "what's happening here?" are most beneficial to young children.

Please give it a chance. Your child will love it!
