Peggy Rathmann is a Caldecott Medal winner for "The Day the Babies Crawled Away" and "Officer Buckle and Gloria." She also illustrated the wry "Bootsie Barker Bites." The delightfully clever and colorful illustrations in her "Buenas Noches, Gorila" will appeal to children of all ages. Spare, simple text in Spanish is useful for bilingual children, as well as English-as-first-language children learning Spanish. The pictures indeed tell many words' worth of story; and invite discussion between adult reader and younger co-reader. Not just a bedtime book, "Buenas Noches, Gorila" is for quiet reading any time of day!

This is a great book in English or in Spanish! There is not much written text, so parents can talk to younger kids about what's happening and "older" tots can explain to parents what's happening. This is one of those rare books my girls have never tired of, enjoying it from their infancy to the present (my oldest is four).

Este libro es fantástico, sea en inglés o en español. No hay mucho texto escrito, así que los padres pueden explicar lo que pasa a los bebés, mientras los cabros chicos lo pueden contar ellos mismos. Es un libro especial del cual mis hijas nunca se cansan; lo han disfrutado desde la edad de cinco meses hasta hoy (la mayor ya tiene cuatro años).

This book is one of my daughter's favorites. We have looked for a lot of books in Spanish and I like the translation in this one. She enjoys reading it during the day or before bedtime. Definitely worth the money.
