Wonderful Bedtime Story
Good Night Gorilla is full of action and fun. A great bedtime story that features cute illustrations of the animals. My sons love the book and and I'm sure your children would love it, too.

Best Book For Toddlers
This was the first book my 15 month old picked up and he hasn't put it down. We've gone through atleast 4 copies of the book in 6 months because of the wear and tear he puts on the book!! He 'reads' it himself and also has anyone around read it to him.

Let your wee ones "read it" to you!
A fun and funny story your child will want again and again. With few words and engaging pictures, children can easily read it with you. It's a great bedtime book! As a plus, track the red balloon on each page.

Wonderful Bedtime Story
This is just the most precious bedtime story yet. All the action going on with each page and the illustrations are great. My son loves this book and I'm sure you will, too.

Read it again!
Your child will want to read this over and over, and each time you can point out new things. My three year old son has loved this since he was one and my 18-month old daughter giggles every time she sees the eyes in the dark. You can have fun making different voices for all the animals, and finding the red balloon throughout the book as it sails toward the crescent moon.

Wonderful discovery book
Though this book has very few words, it is a wonderful book to discover characters and action through pictures by asking what are they doing or counting the animals. Love to read it just before nap or bedtime. The best part is finding the mouse and the banana!

It's a different story every night!
My 14 month old and I LOVE this book! When I first looked at it, I thought 'there are no words!' but now I realize the VALUE in that: I get to make up a different story every night! It's also nice that I can make the story a quick one or take my time and make up some grand tale! It's currently our favorite bedtime book.

Huh?! Fun for Mommy and kiddos!!
My 23-month-old loves this book. Her favorite page is when the zookeeper's wife reacts to all the 'good nights' that she hears in the dark...as if she's saying 'HUH?' I often hear her 'reading' the book after I've tucked her in for the night. Mom's favorite part is seeing all the animals' stuffed animals (like the Babar in the elephant's cage) a cute touch!

Got banana?
Probably the most read book in our daughter's library for a six-month period, and she still pulls it out every now and then even though she's a first-grader and reading on her own. She just loves it. Highly recommended.

My little ones enjoy all the beautiful illustrations in this boo
My little ones enjoy all the beautiful illustrations in this book. I have a two year old and a baby. It doesn't have very many words, so I think it is best enjoyed with a verbal toddler or preschooler. That surprised me because I originally bought it for the baby. It is a great book to talk through and it makes us laugh. I particularly like the lap-sized board book. It really does make it easier to read to both boys at once.

My favorite gift!
I am a children's librarian and this is my favorite book to give as a baby gift. I also love The Monster at the End of This Book.

Not a fan of the near wordless books.
I was so disappointed when we cracked open our new copy of Good Night Gorilla and discovered a short, near wordless book. I wish a review would have spelled that out a little more. It's nearly mommy-abuse thinking up a new story every day. My son is amused by it- I think it's just for younger kids. At least I've warned some parents.

A very cute book
This is the cutest story and a great book! The illustrations are so great. This is a really cute baby shower gift, you can give the board book version to make it last for a small child. This is such a cute book about the zoo keeper who leaves the gorilla cage unlocked and he follows the zoo keeper home. The wife is hilarious. You will really enjoy the bright colors of the illustrations. There aren't many words in this book and few words are needed. You will love this one!

A very fun read with very few words. Great pictures. Lots to look at!
This book is fantastic because there aren't a whole lot of words. That means that your child can read the book to you!! It's also a great tool for learning animal sounds, talking about animals, colors, and the chances of a gorilla actually getting ahold of the keys for each cage to let the animals out.

I find it hilarious that the wife of the zoo keeper takes all the animals back as he "overlooks" the fact that all the animals followed him home. Look at the mouse with the banana on each page and follow the balloons flight. There are so many details to this book!! It's a great read for little ones, even after the 20th time of going through it. -

Great book for imaginative youngsters.
There are few words in the book, so you and your child are left to fill in the narrative. It can be as funny as you like and the cheeky gorilla and his friends always please.

Since there are so few words, even children just starting out feel they can read a full book all by themselves. -

Great for toddlers!
My two-year-old loves this book. He loves to see the "naughty gorilla" let his animal friends out of the zoo and sneak into the zookeeper's home. He adores this silly little book.

My toddler's favorite
Goodnight Gorilla is a wonderful children's classic that is engaging for the littlest children and as they grow, they discover more and more details within this delightful story. A cute gorilla snatches the zookeeper's keys and lets his friends out for a bedtime cuddle at the zookeeper's house across from the zoo. Mama has to take everyone back to bed. Very cute, very addictive, and we've been through three copies already because it is so well loved.
