Sendak goes from A-Z with alligators here in this book for the youngster who well is not really that discerning. Where the Wild Things Are this is not.

Quirky Maurice. This is his alphabet book with alligators. It is quite cute.
The nephew wants to learn his letters and he thought this was a fun book. He spends time looking at the pages.
I still enjoy reading Maurice. He has his own beat - for certain.

Alligators All Around is another ABC book. The alliteration is cute but sometimes rather contrived. What 2-3 year old knows what "quarrelsome" means? Not that I mind teaching my child new vocabulary, it just seems kind of silly to me.
The other letters I had an issue with:
F "forever fooling" uh what? what does that even mean?
M "making macaroni" In the illustration mama alligator is CLEARLY not making macaroni.
O "ordering oatmeal" Alligators don't eat oatmeal! Plus who orders oatmeal at a restaurant? Weirdos.
P "pushing people" Not nice.
U "usually upside down" Another one that doesn't make any sense.
Disclaimer: Review is tongue in cheek, please stop sending me hate mail.

So I found this totally cool first edition of this book in my local thrift store for a quarter, and I bought it. Sure it is an ex-library book, but it is an ex-library book from my elementary school. I thought that was pretty neat. The book itself was also pretty neat.
