Jack talking never ceases to be enjoyable. He has this book called "Goodnight Gorilla," in which a zookeeper goes around saying good night to all the animals in the zoo, while the monkey (gorilla, I guess, but he's a little guy) steals his keys and goes around behind him letting out all the animals. He lets out the - if memory serves - elephant, lion, giraffe, hyena, and armadillo.
There aren't many words in the book, mostly pictures; the only words are the zookeeper saying good night to each animal. So I do most of the talking, keeping a running monologue as I read the book. "Oh, he's letting out the elephant. Jack, can you say elephant?"
Jack: "Effant!"
Me: "That's right, Elephant. Oh, he's letting out the lion. Jack, can you say lion?"
Jack: "Line!"
Me: "That's right, Lion. Now he's letting out the giraffe. Jack, can you say giraffe?"
Jack: "Raff!"
Me: "Hyena?"
Jack: "Hine!"
Me: "Armadillo?"
Jack: "Ah Dill!"
Me: "And what about monkey?"
Jack: "Muh!"
A lot of fun.
