Good Night, Gorilla
Good Night, Gorilla | Peggy Rathmann
16 posts | 37 read | 2 to read
For a short time, this new larger edition includes a print signed by Peggy Rathmann! It's bedtime at the zoo, and all the animals are going to sleep. Or are they? Who's that short, furry guy with the keys in his hand and the mischievous grin? Sneak along behind the zookeeper's back and see who gets the last laugh in this riotous good-night romp. The new generous trim size of every toddler's favorite book is even easier to share. With a warm, funny author's note highlighting how much this book has meant to kids and families since it was first published and some clever new details hidden in the illustrations, Good Night, Gorilla is the perfect gift for new babies as well as fans young and old.

Fun puzzle this Sunday afternoon.

Tamra Love it! ❤️ What is the title of the puzzle? I‘m thinking it might be a fun one for when my daughter is out of school for the summer. (edited) 3y
LiteraryinLawrence This is adorable! I would also love to know where you got it! 3y

I read this about 10 times this morning for a very interested 1 year old and 3 year old. Strange not reading it at bedtime and instead when we first woke up. Always a fun book though!

crazyspine Yeah, we got her that book. 4y
laurar311 @crazyspine they both love that book... although Charlotte is at the age that she loves trying to chew on it too while reading. 4y

Put my son to bed tonight with this lovely book. Needless to say, he loved looking at all the animals and then took the book at the end and tried to read it himself. He kept pointing at the monkey, so we may have a new bedtime story favorite on our hands 😁

Tracyantoon My youngest also loves this one! She especially loves the page with all the good nights! 4y

this was my favorite part of the book. I thought it was very clever how the illustrator used an all black page with just two eyes as a way to demonstrate that the animals are all in the room

ValerieAndBooks My kids loved this book when they were little. We enjoyed looking for the escaped balloon on the pages, too. 5y

This was an entertaining read! Even after reading the same page 100 times, the suspense still gets me! 20/10 will be reading this again tomorrow night (maybe with both socks).

RaimeyGallant Nice review! And welcome to Litsy! #LitsyWelcomeWagon Some of us put together Litsy tips to help new Littens navigate the site. It's the link in my bio on my page in case you need it.

In Good Night, Gorilla - the #ringofkeys is stolen from the zookeeper and the gorilla uses them to unlock the cages of the other animals. They all decide to follow the zookeeper home and sleep in his room. It‘s adorably cute. #MusicalNewYear

JanuarieTimewalker13 Awhhh, that‘s such a great message! What animal would want to be kept in a cage? It‘s so sad and bleak not to have freedom and companionship, only to be gawked at all day by another species🦍❤️ 5y

Today we went to story time at the library, and lucked into yoga story time! We did the “yogi pokey”, read “Good Night, Gorilla” and then acted out the story through yoga poses. It was so fun!

Ingerella That the cutest yoga ever! 6y
Eyelit That‘s so cool! 6y

My grandson (with assistance from his daddy) obsessively reads his current fave. I'm trying to interest him in Sheep In A Jeep, MY current favorite in the board book category, but he keeps gravitating to this one. 😄🐵🌚

britt_brooke @brilliantglow They actually had fun with it. I told them how important it is to help others plus they need to make room for the books they get for Christmas. 😉 7y

I mean, sure, Zookeeper Joe's methods are slipshod and sketchy at best, and all the homes in the vicinity of this zoo are at risk of an imminent animal invasion. But if he actually kept hold of his keys, then this charming story wouldn't be possible. So we'll call it even, shall we?

Aloyacano This was one of our FAVORITES! I love the children's books with few words they allow for so much creativity. 8y

This classic book will stay that way as long as the publishers keep putting it out. Its simple, but beloved, and uses the pictures to tell most the story. A wonderful pick for Illinois Reads 2016.
