Klappentext

This bedtime classic paired with a cuddly Gorilla is more irresistible than ever!

It's bedtime at the zoo, but mischievous Gorilla is not quite ready to go to sleep. He'd rather follow the zookeeper on his rounds and let all of the other animals out of their cages.

Sneak along with Gorilla and see who gets the last laugh in this riotous bedtime romp.

This Good Night, Gorilla book and plush package is the perfect gift for new babies as well as fans young and old.
