Buenas noches, Gorila (Spanish Edition)
PreSchool-Grade 1-The Caldecott Award-winning artist creates another  showstopper with this sweetly told bedtime story. A mischievous  monkey silently follows a sleepy zookeeper on his midnight  rounds, unlocking the cages of all of the animal inhabitants.  The stealthy parade follows the drowsy caretaker home, where  they tuck themselves into available nooks and crannies of his  bedroom. This deceptively simple story is charming. Its many  visual embellishments, done in deep, dreamy shades of pinks,  greens, and violets, amplify the 10-word text. Young children  will enjoy searching the pages for hidden details. For example,  a tiny mouse dragging a banana around is a separate, silent  pantomime. Each beast has a tiny stuffed animal to keep it  company. This is certain to become a bedtime favorite. Luckily  it's so adorable and so brief that parents won't mind requests  for repeated readings. It's high time this 1995 ALA Notable Book  is available in Spanish. Bookstores and libraries will want to  have plenty of copies on hand. Cheryl Scheer, Denver P.L.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
