Goodnight Gorilla
ranks up there with Goodnight Moon in my family. Both give us the pleasure of retelling the story time and time again. Even though these are simple board books there is a sense of something new to be discovered on each page.10 Minutes TIll Bedtime offers the same joy for us. Each page was a wonder of illustration and pacing. We see the boy go through his usual get-ready-for-bed routine while serving as the focus for a tour group of...hamsters. My son caught all the details of each tourist and the unique personalities so artfully carried out from scene to scene. I didn't even notice that there we ten little tourists to find on each page and that each was numbered. He loved finding each hamster and its accompanying mischief.
Oh, and be sure to look for the gorilla. And then check out peggyrathman.com.
