5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book!, February 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Lady with the Alligator Purse (Paperback)

As an Early Childhood program assistant for 3 to 5 year olds, I can highly recommend this book. The rollicking, repititious lines of the book are mesmerizing for the children as well as the adults. Before going just a few pages, the children are joining in, giving them a real sense of "reading" along. Highly recommended.

By A Customer

This review is from: The Lady with the Alligator Purse (Board book)

My daughter is only 5 months old, but when I read this book to her, we both laughed out loud! I look forward to reading it to her for years to come.
