Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve been MIA! Got to spend almost 2 weeks in Germany visiting our daughter and her family. Did a side trip to Belgium. Enjoyed reading to my grandson - 17 books!! I miss them so much and hope they move back to the states soon. 🧡

Fun puzzle this Sunday afternoon.

I read this about 10 times this morning for a very interested 1 year old and 3 year old. Strange not reading it at bedtime and instead when we first woke up. Always a fun book though!

Put my son to bed tonight with this lovely book. Needless to say, he loved looking at all the animals and then took the book at the end and tried to read it himself. He kept pointing at the monkey, so we may have a new bedtime story favorite on our hands 😁

“goodnight gorilla-zzz“

this was my favorite part of the book. I thought it was very clever how the illustrator used an all black page with just two eyes as a way to demonstrate that the animals are all in the room

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was really cute and made me laugh how mischievous the gorilla is

This was an entertaining read! Even after reading the same page 100 times, the suspense still gets me! 20/10 will be reading this again tomorrow night (maybe with both socks).

In Good Night, Gorilla - the #ringofkeys is stolen from the zookeeper and the gorilla uses them to unlock the cages of the other animals. They all decide to follow the zookeeper home and sleep in his room. It‘s adorably cute. #MusicalNewYear

So Juliet is on buzzfeed today! Haha!

Today we went to story time at the library, and lucked into yoga story time! We did the “yogi pokey”, read “Good Night, Gorilla” and then acted out the story through yoga poses. It was so fun!

My grandson (with assistance from his daddy) obsessively reads his current fave. I'm trying to interest him in Sheep In A Jeep, MY current favorite in the board book category, but he keeps gravitating to this one. 😄🐵🌚

My sweet little helpers went through their books and chose ones to donate to other kids who might enjoy them. 💕💕💕 #raisingreaders #littlelittens

Outside it's nothing but yucky icky rainy weather. The hubby went away for the weekend with his buddies so the kiddo and I are snuggling up with some books. ☕️🍁📚👩‍👦🍃🍂🎃

That moment you realize that sneaky gorilla got to your clueless zookeeper husband's keys...

I mean, sure, Zookeeper Joe's methods are slipshod and sketchy at best, and all the homes in the vicinity of this zoo are at risk of an imminent animal invasion. But if he actually kept hold of his keys, then this charming story wouldn't be possible. So we'll call it even, shall we?

This classic book will stay that way as long as the publishers keep putting it out. Its simple, but beloved, and uses the pictures to tell most the story. A wonderful pick for Illinois Reads 2016.
