When I was 9 years old, I read this book at a daycare where I stayed. I read it every single day. One day, I remembered it, after forgetting for years, and came here to amazon.com. I was overjoyed to learn that yes, they had this book. Its a great story your kids or even you will love for years to come. I recommend this book for ages 1-100. You'l love it!

A Fun and Beautiful Bedtime Book
In this beautifully-illustrated bedtime book, the gorilla steals the key from the zookeeper, letting out all the animals, who follow the zookeeper home to bed. The story is cute, but what I really loved about this book was the great illustrations. The colors pop out at you from the page and capture your attention. This book is one of my new bedtime favorites! I can't wait to read it to my ...

Wonderful book - and teaches important "life" lessons.
Whether we like it or not, we're going to meet a real "bully" someday in either our childhood or adult years. I LOVED this book as it describes Bootsie being that bully, and the main character's mother giving her the advice to learn to work it out (as opposed to the mother stepping in, hence teaching children not to stand up for themselves). The fact that this lead character decided to use her ...

The Day the Babies Crawled Away

Rises to a 21-month old's favorite's list
This book about runaway babies is captivatingly drawn. I love the uniqueness of the silhouette presentation; the contrast of black against soft color draws the reader to the next page to puzzle out the action before the text explains. The book shows to our young ones how shape and outline are important in identifying everyday objects and people, requiring an analytical eye to determine what we ...

10 Minutes till Bedtime

Putnam Juvenile, 1998

controlled (and giggly) chaos!
The brilliance of this book lies in the tiny details and the chaotic, then calm, nature of bedtime. As the hamsters accompany the child on his bedtime routine, brushing teeth, pajamas, some are imitating our spiky haired hero, watch for one hamster with similar spiky hair parroting the movements of the child, and some are into a little mischief. Each page is packed with activity, and a parent ...
