A common remark made by many parents is, “I spent all this money on a great new toy for my child, and she’s more interested in playing with the box than the toy!” This blog offers descriptions and opinions about toys, books, & other resources for both children considered to be typically developing as well as those with special needs. I have tried, when possible, to provide suggestions on how to modify toys to make them fun for children at all developmental levels.

Good Night Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann
This is one of those sweet children's books that is charming and fun for infants, toddler, and young preschoolers. The basic premise of the story is that the zoo keeper is trying to lock up all of the animals for the night, but the gorilla steals his keys, lets all of the animals out of their cages, and they follow the zookeeper home. The text is simple and the illustrations, while fairly simple, have some lovely details that children love to point out as they become more familiar with the story. Where to Buy: Good Night Gorilla is widely available at children's book sellers or larger books stores that have a children's section.
