Goodnight Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann



Goodnight Gorilla uses the power of pictures to tell the story of  how one gorilla unlocks the cages of zoo animals, following the zoo keeper on his rounds. 

My small daughter will sit with this book across her lap and turn the pages back and forth, saying "Good night hyena, good night lion, good night gorilla."

Using the element of surprise and knowing children love the fantastic, Rathmann has the zoo animals follow the zoo keeper home and into bed with him.
