The Alligator Makes A Wish

This unusual children's book explores a tiny bit of the world in four poems. The collection includes poems for small people, and for springtime, bedtime and dinnertime. The great blue heron, the lion and the jackal, panda bears, pollywogs and mice accompany us on our journey, along with a pint-sized dancing dinosaur. We catch fish with the alligator, chase antelope with the cheetah, and examine what people around the world are cooking up for dinner, too. Wonderful evocative illustrations will delight children and bring both familiar and exotic animals to life. Surprising new creatures, lively new words and entertaining lyrics will make this book a favorite for you and your child. You'll enjoy reading it together again and again.
