This story follows the security guard at the zoo as he locks up. First he says good night to the gorilla. While he is saying goodnight the gorilla takes his keys. Then he says good night to other animals in the zoo. Each animal the security guard says goodnight to, the gorilla lets out of the cage. Until there is a long line of animals including the gorilla, an elephant, a giraffe, a lion, a hyena, and an armadillo. The animals all follow him to his home and as his wife says goodnight all the animals reply goodnight. She gets up and takes them all back to their cages, and the gorilla gets out again. The gorilla ends up in bed with the wife and the final page is the gorilla saying goodnight. This is a fun book for infants and toddlers. There really is not many words other than the phrase goodnight and the names of the animals. The animals sneaking along behind the security guard in the illustrations is silly, and many children will enjoy that. This is a good book to practice animal names with and a great book to read before bedtime or nap time.
