About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a wiggly, silly mood or when you want to transform a mundane afternoon into a celebration of sound and rhythm. It is the perfect antidote to 'serious' reading time, offering a playground of nonsense that invites kids to laugh at the absurdity of language itself. Through thirty-seven whimsical poems, Dennis Lee explores everything from soup and pajamas to the iconic title dish, Alligator Pie. Beyond the humor, these verses are a masterclass in phonemic awareness and imaginative play. The emotional core is one of pure, unadulterated joy and creative freedom. It is highly appropriate for preschoolers through early elementary students, particularly those who enjoy repeating catchy phrases or making up their own jokes. Parents will appreciate how it turns reading into a high-energy, bonding performance that builds a love for the musicality of words.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and grounded in the safe, whimsical logic of childhood imagination. Any 'danger' (like being eaten by an alligator) is presented in a rhythmic, playful context that removes any real-world fear.
