I love Mo Willems’ simplicity. What to say about this latest book to hit
our shelves?! Well, it is about a girl named Amanda and best friend Alligator.
Their story is told in 6 and one half chapters (yes, really – there is ½ chapter
between chapter 2 and chapter 3) of surprises. There are all kinds of
surprises too – happy surprises, silly surprises, comforting surprises and even
poignant surprises. As an extra special bonus, it also includes the best line
in the world… “Books beat boredom”.
Willems has kept things simple. The text is not long and involved, yet you
feel like you know Amanda and her Alligator. The images are sparse and include
lots of white space, but you feel like you know what’s going on anyway. If
you haven’t tried one of Mo Willems’ books yet, then please, go pick one up.
The child in your house will totally enjoy it!
