About this title

Synopsis

To celebrate the success of the first six Alligator Tales board books, Dennis Lee has created one new poem for the series, and completely revised an old classic to fit the new format. The books feature the rollicking, rhyming wordplay of Dennis Lee?s poetry, and the bright, playful artwork of Nora Hilb.

Originally published in Bubblegum Delicious in 2000, ?The Rocking Chair? offered a wonderful glimpse into a child?s inner world. In this expanded version, Lee takes his readers on a fantastical journey out of the house, down the block, and beyond?to places both real and imagined.

With their age-appropriate poems and beautiful art, each Alligator Tales edition appeals to the imagination of infants and toddlers. And with sturdy, board-book construction, complete with rounded edges, these classics are built to stand the test of time?and teething.
