Ever wonder who the life of the safari is? It's go-go-gorillas
All safari guide Jungle Jed wants is for the gorillas to go to sleep, but after they brush their teeth and comb their fur, it's an all-out jungle boogie, complete with baby gorilla doing the robot.
Brought to life with colorful and dynamic illustrations by Nate Wragg and bouncy text by Patrick Wensink, Go Go Gorillas is the perfect read-aloud. Fans of Giraffes Can't Dance will giggle along at the silly antics of these not-so-sleepy gorillas in this lively, rhyming bedtime tale.
Review
"Little ones will enjoy these jammie-clad jams, though the book may inspire more dancing than snoozing." Kirkus Reviews
