Alligator Shoes (Reading Rainbow)

This was the first book my son learned to read on his own as a child. I purchased it for my 4 year old grandson and he loves it. It is short enough to hold his attention and interest. He giggled about the situations the alligator found himself in. Within a few days, he was "reading" it to me. Since he isn't easily interested in books, I was pleased that he so thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended for preschool to first grade.

I am a first grade teacher and had the opportunity to meet the author in person! Such a great book and the kids read over and over!

A wonderful children's book. Needs to have more stars than 5.

Great story, using for our homeschooling curriculum. The kids enjoy.

I found this book too short. I also didn't think it was very funny. For a child reading it themselves it is probably just fine. However for a book you would read to your child...I find it inadequate.

This is a gem of a book,Alvin the alligator is a character you can't help liking, a lot. The illustrations are absolutely hysterical, as Alvin's wild imagination takes the reader to all these wacky situations. Who can't love a big green alligator acting like fred Astaire while he wears dancing shoes, and then later in plain shoes he is seen on the street wearing his casual clothes- including a knit shirt with a human for a logo! I am totally sold on this book and recommend it to anyone with kids of any age (You can always read it yourself!) I am buying a few extra copies to give to friends.

Alligator Shoes is very interesting. We liked when the lady picked up Alvin's feet and thought they were shoes. It is a funny book. It is a cool for 1st and 2nd graders to read.

小学生の息子にreading用と思い購入しました。アメリカの子供は幼稚園で読める本のようです。（笑）非常にコンパクトで寝る前に読んであげるのにラクチンです。結局親が読み聞かせてますが、簡単な文章なので毎晩読んでいたら子供達はすぐ暗唱してしまいました。
