Peggy Rathmann: Good Night, Gorilla

Good Night, Gorilla is a modern classic in the world of picture books - the perfect read as a bedtime story. 'Good night, Gorilla,' says the night watchman as he finishes his rounds at the zoo. But Gorilla has other ideas, deftly pick-pocketing the watchman's keys and letting himself out of his cage, whilst letting Elephant, Lion, Hyena, Giraffe and Armadillo out too! The weary watchman makes his way home and into bed ...unaware that his friends from the zoo are right behind him! Beautifully crafted illustrations and a calming, easy-to-follow text make this zoo story a delight for toddlers and young children. Animal stories are perennial favourites at bedtime and this picture book certainly doesn't disappoint.
