밤이 되자 동물원의 아기 고릴라는 순찰을 도는 관리인의 허리춤에 있는 열쇠를 몰래 빼돌려서 문을 열고 나갑니다. 고릴라는 다른 동물들의 문도 함께 열어 주지요. 우리를 나온 동물들이 가려고 하는 곳은... 항상 부모님 같이 따뜻하게 대해주는 관리인 부부의 집입니다. 동물들은 몰래 관리인 부부의 침실로 들어가서 잠을 자려고 합니다. 그 때 관리인의 부인은 남편에게 "Good Night"하고 인사를 했는데 그만 인사성 밝은 동물들이 모두 "Good Night"하고 같이 인사를 하는 바람에 들켜버리고 말았지요. 유머러스한 이야기 전개, 재미있는 동물들의 표정, 그리고 예기치 못한 반전... 아이들이 좋아할 만한 요소를 고루 갖춘 유아용 그림책입니다.

영어문장은 Good night와 동물들의 이름이 전부이지만 처음 영어책을 접하는 어린 독자들에게는 영어에 대한 거부감을 없애고 영어책에 대한 흥미를 불러 일으키기에 좋은 책입니다.

What is 보드북? 보드북(Board Book)은 표지와 속지가 모두 두꺼운 카드보드지로 만들어진 책입니다. 잘 찢어지거나 구겨지지 않기 때문에 나이가 어린 아이들을 위한 책으로 주로 만들어지며, 책 내용도 원본에 비해 축약되는 경우가 많습니다. 주로 두장을 겹쳐 단단하고 오랫동안 눌려있을 경우 페이지와 페이지가 붙을 수 있습니다.

보드북입니다.

Book Description
Good Night, Gorilla won the 1994 Cuffie for "Most Likely to Succeed in Years Ahead" and has more than lived up to that prediction, becoming a modern classic that is a must in every child's library. This perfect package will give kids the opportunity to cuddle up with an adorable plush gorilla while they are enjoying his secret bedtime antics.


Publishers Weekly *Starred Review*
"Universally understandable subject matter and a narrative conveyed almost entirely through pictures mark this as an ideal title for beginners," said PW.


School Library Journal *Starred Review*
A mischievous little gorilla lifts the zoo keeper's keys on the first page of this sparely worded picture book. The brightly colored illustrations basically tell the entertaining story as the gorilla tags along behind the man, gleefully freeing all of the other animals, who then follow him single file into his neat little house. It is his unruffled wife who, without disturbing her sleepy husband, calmly returns the creatures to their cages. Even she, however, does not notice the wily gorilla, who, still in possession of the keys, returns to the house, slips into the big bed, and curls up contentedly between the people for the night. A clever, comforting bedtime story.


Booklist *Starred Review*
In this limited-word picture book, a gorilla follows the zookeeper as he says good-night to his charges. What the zookeeper doesn't know is that the mischievous gorilla has snatched his keys and is letting out the animals almost as fast as the zookeeper can lock them up. The animals follow him to his house and into the bedroom, where, in an amusing pitch-black spread, a pair of worried wide-open eyes let the zookeeper's wife know that she and her husband are not alone. Jaunty four-color artwork carries the story and offers more with every look.


Kirkus Reviews *Starred Review*
As the sleepy keeper bids him good night, Gorilla snitches his keys; then he creeps after him, letting the other animals out. In a lengthening parade that includes a mouse first seen taking one of Gorilla's bananas, they pad along behind the keeper like faithful dogs, enter his house, and curl up to snooze in his bedroom; Gorilla snuggles into bed next to the keeper's wife. The man is too drowsy to notice, but she does; taking Gorilla by the hand, she leads the whole parade back to the zoo with an air of resignation that suggests this has happened before. Gorilla certainly knows the ropes; he and the mouse (still toting the banana) follow her back, this time to settle in the middle of the bed. The amiable cartoon characters, vibrant palette, and affectionate tone of the author's art recall Thacher Hurd's cheerful illustrations. Delightful.
