December 2022 Book of the Month
This lively picture book should make school drop-offs lots more fun! The format is simple but effective: a cheerful meerkat riffs on, ‘See you later, Alligator’ to deliver unique rhyming goodbyes to lots of other animals.
We’re treated to, ‘Gotta wander, Anaconda’ to ‘Too-da-loo, Kangaroo’ and ‘Squisharilla, Caterpillar.’ In all, just under 100 animal feature, all attractively illustrated by Carolyn Dinan, whether in the forest, at the beach or on the plains.
It’s very satisfying to read aloud, but should encourage everyone to join in and create their own special farewell sign-offs – a game that could run and run, developing word-power and creativity along the way.
See You Alligator is available to buy at woodenbooks.com for £6.95.
See you later Alligator; In a while Crocodile; Gotta wander Anaconda; Nice smile Reptile! ... So begins Meerkat's day, as he meets and greets almost 100 animals, in this beautiful rhyming picture book, written by award-winning publisher John Martineau, and illustrated by award-winning children's illustrator Carolyn Dinan.
John Martineau is the publisher of Wooden Books, and author of A Little Book of Coincidence in the Solar System. He wrote this poem to see how many different rhyming animal ways he could find to say hello and goodbye to his young kids at the school gate. Carolyn Dinan is an award-winning illustrator who has written and illustrated numerous books for leading publishers (in the UK, Europe and USA). She has been a visiting lecturer in illustration for several years at Chelsea College of Art and Design, and on the MA illustration course at Middlesex University.
