A review by emmarj
Alligators All Around by Maurice Sendak

1.0

Alligators All Around is another ABC book. The alliteration is cute but sometimes rather contrived. What 2-3 year old knows what "quarrelsome" means? Not that I mind teaching my child new vocabulary, it just seems kind of silly to me.

The other letters I had an issue with:
F "forever fooling" uh what? what does that even mean?
M "making macaroni" In the illustration mama alligator is CLEARLY not making macaroni.
O "ordering oatmeal" Alligators don't eat oatmeal! Plus who orders oatmeal at a restaurant? Weirdos.
P "pushing people" Not nice.
U "usually upside down" Another one that doesn't make any sense.
