""Humorous illustrations of animals invading the food’s activities, combined with the speech-bubble banter between Avocado and Alligator will delight those still learning their letters as well as older kids who are already reading independently... Find room on the shelf for another abecedarium! Most collections will want to add this silly and fresh spin on a classic genre.""—School Library Journal “Not your mother's alphabet book! Kids and parents who are tired of the cute little alphabetized critter parade will be relieved to find this book contains DANGEROUS (and very silly) creatures instead. Families with multi-age kids may especially appreciate this clever satirical take, which embraces the tradition of reading an alphabet book to younger kids while making it entertaining for the older ones. It also illustrates how the power of imagination can lead to an effective compromise between ideas. Great fun!”—Brynn Artley, Content Book Store, Northfield, MN “The art help keeps things light... A nice, new alphabet book that might not be for the very young, but will go from strong 6-7 years to the young at heart.”—Jeanette Sessions Northshire Bookstore, Manchester Center, VT
