"My daughter, who is two, loves this DVD more than any other video she has seen. In fact, she loves it so much that it has become part of the goodnight routine--we read books, and, with the promise of this dvd, she happily lets me brush her teeth before we sit down and watch it together. It's sweet, relaxing, and really like being read some good bedtime stories, with some complementary music and a bit of animation. Her favorites from this DVD are Goodnight Gorilla, How do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight, Happy Birthday Moon, and The Napping House (the first four stories). All of the animation is delightful, the stories are sweet, and these are far from the annoying, over-stimulating television that is often aimed at children. We often read the books beforehand, and then watch the video. Highly recommended."
My son adores this bedtime dvd!

"We have a huge stack of bedtime books that we alternate at night, but when i saw this, we had to try it. My son is 19 months old and LOVES "goodnight gorilla" and "happy birthday moon." He always says "happy happy happy" at bedtime...and when he wants Goodnight Gorilla he goes "zoooo" - it is so cute. Both of them are absolutely a delight to watch. They are animated enough to bring the stories to life but not fast paced enough to excite your child at night. The music is gorgeous and relaxing, and honestly, i've fallen asleep watching them with him. We have the books as well and sometimes alternate between reading the stories and watching the dvd. If you have a child who is a little tired of your bedtime routine or w/ the same old books, try adding this dvd into the mix and you will have a very enticing bedtime routine!"
A Family Favorite!

"We have both the book and the video in this scholastic favorite. We recommend both. Our daughter follows along with her book as she watches her video. Goodnight Gorilla is a modern day classic that everychild must own. It is simple enough for a 2 year old to follow. But my child just keeps watching it. The other videos on the collection are also fun. But it is hard to beat Good Night Gorilla."
