The bedtime read is about a zoo keeper who says goodnight to a gorilla, only to have his keys stolen by the silly primate, who then unlocks the cages to all the animals after the zoo keeper has said goodnight. The illustrations do most of the story telling as we watch the parade of silent animals follow the zoo keeper back to his home to snuggle in bed with his wife. Perfect for late-night giggles and reluctant sleepers.
