What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focuses on lighthearted animal personification. The predatory nature of alligators is completely absent, replaced by a harmless, industrious persona.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler who is currently obsessed with 'helping' in the kitchen or garden, and who finds repetitive, bouncy sounds hilarious. It is also excellent for a child who may be struggling with specific speech sounds and needs a low-pressure, fun way to practice alliteration.
