Hazel recommended this board book by Peggy Rathman way back at Christmas, when I was desperate to buy a cool gift for my friend Laura's little one and discovered I am not, in fact, that cool. She told me at the time, "I don't know what it is about this book, but children just love it.' How right she was. Laura and her adorable two year old Sarah can attest to it...
"My daughter Sarah received this book last Christmas and it has been her favourite ever since. She loves the bright, detailed illustrations and the different zoo animals. I love that the simple text allows me to change the words in the story a little bit each time I read it. Goodnight Gorilla is a great book to read at bedtime; if you’re so tired that you can’t see straight it’s a quick story. When you have more time and energy, you can talk about what is happening on each page. My older children also love reading it to their little sister. We have read this book hundreds of times and we still enjoy every page!"
