MONDAY: Goodnight Gorilla

This is a board book that proves the old adage, "A picture's worth a thousand words." There aren't many printed words in this book, but the facial expressions on the characters are priceless. The little gorilla steals the zookeeper's keys while he says good night to all the animals in the zoo. When the zookeeper heads home, all of the animals follow him home, surprising his wife who has to take them all back to the zoo.

I know a lot of parents talk about Goodnight Moon as a great children's book, but I would choose Good Night, Gorilla every time if given a choice!
