Summary: The
Lady with the Alligator Purse is a board book story that involves a baby named
Tiny Tim. Tiny Tim drinks his bathwater
and eats all his soap while taking a bath one day and his panicked mother calls
a doctor, a nurse, and the lady with the alligator purse to help. The lady with the alligator purse has the
best recommendation when she suggests pizza as a way to help the child feel
better.
Evaluation:
The Lady with the Alligator Purse is a fun read with its colorful pictures
and rhyming word patterns. Children will
love its elements of silliness, like when Tiny Tim tries to eat the bathtub, and
its rhythm of the rhyming sentences that tell the story.
Although the concept is a little out there, I enjoy the fictional aspect of this book. It sounds like a fun and silly book that children would enjoy to read!
ReplyDeleteI loved this rhyming book and song when I was little!
