This book, along with its three companions, are taken from four books titled "Everything Happens to Aaron in..." each of the four seasons.This poor alligator never seems to catch a break, no matter what time of year.However, I wish the full books had been re-released instead of abridging them as easy readers. I think they'd make much more sense.Love the drawings, especially of items that have been updated since the mid-1960s, when the originals were written. A CRT TV, for example.
From rolling snowballs, to ice skating, to opening presents, Aaron loves winter. Unfortunately, the accident-prone alligator doesn't always come out of his many experiences unscathed. Good thing he takes his mishaps well!Aaron's laid-back attitude and willingness to keep trying set a good example for young readers, although the fact that he skates on thin ice probably isn't the best example. Many will find his misadventures and obliviousness amusing, especially when paired with the author's tongue-in-cheek voice. The ending wishes readers a happy New Year, making it more time-sensitive, and many of the illustrations have an old-fashioned feel -- perhaps because this is adapted from a title originally published in 1967. Still, it did age well and would be fun for a read-aloud, especially around the holiday season.
PD Eastman - the best. Enough said!! the kids LOVE Aaron, and his books are easy to read but intelligently thought out to keep their interest.
A very simple begining reader but we especially like it because the labels on the Christmas presents happen to be names of our family memebers.
My boys love this book
