by Nadine Bernard Westcott

Customer Reviews

great!

i just bought this book for my three year old daughter yesterday, and i must have read it to her 20 times! she loves it and reads it back to me, she's practically memorized it!! the silly story, catchy rhymes and playful illustrations keep her coming back for more.

Solve Everything With Pizza!

Don't you wish you could solve everything with pizza? The Lady with The Alligator Purse can! Parents may remember this as a song from their childhood, but the book brings laughter and a spark to the imagination for children ages 1-10. Not to mention that they will spend a little quiet time later trying to decide what made the baby think he could eat the bathtub!

The Lady with the Alligator Purse

My daughter is only 5 months old, but when I read this book to her, we both laughed out loud! I look forward to reading it to her for years to come.

Lots of fun!

This book is a lot of fun. Fun to read and the pictures are a hoot. My 21-month old daughter loves it and so do her parents.

Wonderful book!

As an Early Childhood program assistant for 3 to 5 year olds, I can highly recommend this book. The rollicking, repititious lines of the book are mesmerizing for the children as well as the adults. Before going just a few pages, the children are joining in, giving them a real sense of "reading" along. Highly recommended.
