Good Night, Gorilla
There are very few words in this picture story about a baby gorilla who gets hold of the zoo keeper's keys. As he goes round saying goodnight to the animals, the gorilla is trotting behind unlocking the doors. The whole zoo follows the unsuspecting keeper home and his wife gets such a shock ...! There's a hint of Rosie's Walk in the format which allows us to see more than the zoo keeper. The illustrations are clear and amusing and the story is ideal for infants beginning to share the reading of both words and pictures.
