The age range for this book would be k-2nd grade. This is about a little mischievous gorilla who doesn't want to go to sleep so he follows the zoo keeper around and unlocks all the other animals' cages and goes to the zoo keepers house. This would be a good one to read if I wanted a no words book.

My review of this book is that it is a perfect night time story for children, Through this book children can learn about all sorts of animals.
