Good Night, Gorilla

This is a wonderful book to share with a child and teach her how observatory picture skills can say more than the text! A very fun read and ending!

This book is fantastic! My 2 year old daughter loves animals and this has quickly become one of her favorite stories. We read it every night. The story is great length for young children- not too short or long. There are not many words either so the story can be interpreted/ told in different ways. Overall would highly recommend.

This is a darling book. It was one of our children’s favorites so it’s what I like to give as baby shower gifts. Being a board book helps keep it from falling apart, though ours still got beat up after several children and it being a well loved book. The story is a cute story about a sneaky monkey but we loved finding the parts of the balloon or its string or the moon on every page. Or looking for the mouse and the banana. It became very interactive and fun.

This book is everything!!! Baby crack. We read it over and over!

My kids loved looking at the engaging pictures in this book when they were little. I always enjoyed reading it to them before bedtime, which is saying something after four kids. Such a cute, sweetly mischievous story. Now I buy it for baby showers, so new moms can read and snuggle with their little ones for years to come.

This is my go to book to gift as it was one of our most loved when my kids were little. It has no words, but with beautiful, well thought out illustrations, the story unfolds seamlessly and you can tell it in any way, in any language and vary it however you want with each “reading”. There’s also that amazing red balloon that floats from page to page, giving the reader a fun side activity and story to tell. Such a different, universal book that I’ve gifted to friends the world over!

Perfect baby shower gift! I love to give this book along with a teething key ring. This mostly-wordless picture book is so funny to littles and to Mama. It’s a great way to help toddlers learn to make predictions and inferences as you playfully chat about what is happening in the story.

A childhood classic! Peggy Rathman's magnum opus, which is a must for every library. We started reading this to my daughter, who is now five, when she was around 10 months old, and it is still her all time favorite book. One of her first words was "Rilla, Rilla," which is what she called it, and how she asked for this book by name, daily. This is a "storyteller's" book, mostly images, which allows both the reader and the listener to improvisationally enter into the hilarious imaginary, nocturnal world of a small zoo as its caretaker shuts it down for the night, trailed by a fun-loving, trickster gorilla who not only (spoiler alert) tiptoes behind the zookeeper/night watchman as he first locks the gates and then sneakily unlocks each one and frees the rest of the animals, but then follows the caretaker, animals in tow, to his home, where someone...is in for a surprise! From the time she was a baby until now at age 5, my daughter still bursts into gleeful fits of laughter in the book's "surprise" moment, and in fact--the look on the character's face was one of the very first imitations of a facial expression she ever did, and her very first attempt at humor--we owe to this book! A milestone. Because of that, this book is so beloved in our house, it's like a family member or a longtime friend: always welcome, always funny, always a delight--and never grows old. "Rilla Rilla" for life!

It's a really good book for toddlers to learn pictorial visualization. It helps kids to think and speak looking at a scene. This book doesn't have any script other than 'Good night'.

Versione inglese, con un'unica frase per pagine "goodnight...." e altre pagine senza parole. Librino formato medio, rettangolare, semplice e molto simpatico, con finale a sorpresa.

I love this book. Though I don't know how to ready this yet to my baby since it has little words written but it is very funny book. You just have to make your own story for this

A história é been simples. Ideal para crianças- 2 anos.
