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.
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.
Alligator Shoes is a funny book written on the kindergarten level. Older children will also enjoy this book because Alvin is funny. It was funny when the lady fainted in the shoe store. It was also funny watching Alvin try on all those shoes, especially the basketball shoes. The illustrations were good and the ending was terrific.
Miss Chamberlain's summer enrichment class thought "Alligator Shoes" was a very funny book. We especially like when the alligator gets locked in the shoe store and tries on all the shoes. We laughed outloud at all the funny shoes he tried on becasue alligators don't really wear shoes. Check this book out for a funny time.
Hey, wouldn't it be funny if you saw an alligator wearing shoes who talks? You should read Alligator Shoes by Arthur Dorros. This is a silly story about Alvin the Alligator who tries on a lot of different shoes. This is a funny book that will make you laugh!
We really liked this book because the illustrations of the alligator were very funny. The text was short and simple to read. The ending was funny and surprising. We did not expect the book to end that way!(Written in collaboration with a first grade class.)
I like this book. Alvin is an alligator and alligators are my favorite. The best parts are when he gets locked in the store, tries on the shoes, and makes the lady faint. It was really funny when he tried on the basketball shoes. You should read this book.
