Good Night, Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann

This book about bedtime at the zoo was an early favorite at our house. Many an evening has been spent following this unobservant zookeeper—identifying animals, finding the little mouse, banana and balloon on each spread, and hysterically giggling when the zookeeper's wife wakes to find a gorilla in her bed. We've probably read it more than a thousand times, and it's yet to get old.Â
