This silly and funny book of rhymes about alligators, skyscrapers, and other fun things is also illustrated wonderfully. I love the opening poem about Alligator Pie. Of course being from Louisiana, we eat Alligator. So I would be  saying, "don't give away my Alligator pie!".  I also liked the poem,  Willoughby, Wallaby, Woo and the elephant but, I don't think I would want him to sit on me. This is a great book of poems.
