I did not want to bring the ratings of this book down because we absolutely love it, however the board book edition only deserves two stars in my opinion because of an unfortunate omission. We owned the paperback and it was so loved that it fell apart, so I bought the board book thinking that it would be a sturdier choice. I was very, very disappointed when we received it and found it lacks one of the best pages in the paperback edition. The page has no words on it only a picture so I guess they thought it wasn't necessary, and maybe took it out to make the board book less chunky, but a picture is worth a thousand words and in this case that is definitely true.The page comes just after the page when lady with the alligator purse announces "Pizza!" and before the page where the doctor and nurse leave. It shows everyone, even the doctor, nurse, cat and dog eating the pizza. It is such a funny page, Tiny Tim has pizza practically flying into his mouth. In my opinion this page provides the perfect transition from the announcement of pizza to time for everyone to leave. Without this page I feel the transition is a little jumpy. I highly recommend the paperback over the board book, which is unfortunate because I like the sturdiness of board books. Everyone in my family loves this book, from my husband, myself, 5 year old, 2 year old, and my 16 month old (although the 16 month old only has the attention span for about half of it).PS this book is based on a song, if you don't know the tune try looking on you tube and you will find some videos of people singing it.
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.
I bought... 7? They were for gifts. I moved to Miami from California and when I was going back to visit I wanted bring a souvenir for all the kids I knew, unfortunately I couldn't find anything nice to bring from Miami. I thought this book was good since it had at least "alligators." In deed it was a great heat, all the children loved it. All of them laughed at it since it was pretty funny, specially when Tiny Tim tries to eat the bathtub and the best medicine was pizza!!!GREAT BOOK!
Oh my!!! Where was this story when I was little?!? My kids loved it! They loved the rhyming and that it could be a song. So simple but yet they loved the playful nature of the book. I also used it for my homeschooling of preschool.
This is such a cute story. I bought this for my children 20 years ago and they loved it. Then I pulled out the beat up copy to read to my grandchildren and they LOVED it. I HAD to buy another copy and I'm so glad I could still find it in print. This is a very simple short story, but the rhyming is what makes it so fun. Within 2 minutes, my granddaughter was able to anticipate the next line of the story, " . . . . . the lady with the Alligator Purse!" She LOVES this book.
This is such a great book. I first knew of this story as a song (with different lyrics). I purchased this to share with my child, and it is just as much of a hit now (for my child) as it was for me, then.
Love this classic. I recently played the song on YouTube and flipped the pages along with the song. My kids loved that and now they think it's super cool to flip the pages themselves with the song... They think they're very smart. :)
This is a book that I had as a child. If I say the title to my two younger brothers, they know exactly what I'm talking about! I just re-bought this book to use in my K-4 music class! It is short, but unforgettable.
