Se trata de un divertido alfabeto protagonizado por una familia de cocodrilos que, a través de situaciones muy diversas, nos van descubriendo las letras. De paseo, disfrazados, cocinando o jugando, cada estrofa rimada comienza sucesivamente por la A, la B, la C? describiendo la escena representada en cada página. This is an alphabet book that starts with "Alligators all around" for "A." The trio of alligators (presumably a family) then illustrate the remaining pages with alliterative actions for the rest of the letters (e.g., "bursting balloons," "catching colds," etc.). There's the politically incorrect "imitating Indians," but otherwise the book holds up fairly well despite its age. It probably wouldn't be my first go-to for an alphabet book, but it's a decent enough choice, especially for those who are fans of Sendak's style of humor and illustrations. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Today “Imitating Indians” or “Pushing People” readily fall into problematic areas [the former being objectifying, the latter being behaviorally disturbing]; nevertheless, it is impossible to deny the uniqueness of the muted illustrations and the consistent pattern [letter, verb, noun] of the narrative that, fifty-eight years after its writing, continues to focus on helping young readers understand the alphabet. And young children love the nonsensical qualities . . . “ordering oatmeal” often earns giggles and the “forever fooling” Dad giving the young alligator a piggy-back ride is downright adorable.
Although inquisitive alphabet-learning readers may not entertain elephants or keep kangaroos [other than the stuffed varieties] or ride reindeer [except, perhaps, on the carousel], they will readily connect with catching colds and getting giggles and never napping. For young readers, “Alligators All Around” with its identifiable family doing things together [and sometimes behaving badly] is immensely engaging. Quirky, clever, charming, and silly, it’s a perfect alphabet introduction for young children.
Highly recommended. ( )
