Book Reviews of Alligators All Around (The Nutshell Library)
Book Review: A clever, enthralling alphabet epic
Summary: 5 Stars
The protagonist of this story is a suave, precociously cultured alligator. Through a series of events that range from shocking to awe-inspiring, the alligator regales the reader with powerful depictions of the versatility and charm that can be found in the alphabet. I found this book to be no less than the pinnacle of alphabet teaching aids, with its captivatingly vivid imagery that grabs the reader's interest and refuses to let go. People of all ages, particularly very young children, will find this book invaluable as a letter learning tool.Book Review: Sendak's critters
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's a Sendak book I'd not known before but I liked it so much I bought it for young nephews. This is an alphabet of alligators and of course they are seen in many absurd and interesting situations. It flows well and is a great read-aloud book.Book Review: Alligator antics
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an alphabet book featuring alligators drawn by Maurice Sendak. Each letter has the alligators doing some activity, such as getting giggles for "g" or throwing tantrums for "t". The book is cute and not scary. It has about 60 words.Book Review: Creative Idea for a Children's Book
Summary: 4 Stars
Alligators All Around is a book that is good for children and adults. Each page shows an alligator doing something a person would normally do,
making it easy for children to familiarize with and laugh at as well. The book itself is a bit small about 7"x3" which is good for kids, but not if you are trying to
read and show it to a class, for example. All original artwork my Maurice Sendak (creator of Where the Wild Things Are).
Book Review: Love the book, miss the hard cover version
Summary: 4 Stars
I grew up reading these Sendak books, and watching the Really Rosie movie that incorporates them, and love them. My son loves them too. I do however, miss the hard cover version. The paperbacks seem kind of flimsy and it takes two hands to keep the pages open.
