Product DescriptionIn alphabetical order, creatures all over the world fall asleep, from alligators dozing in the mud to zebras asleep on their sidesFrom School Library JournalPreSchool-Grade 1-- Just another alphabet book. Merriam's catalog of nighttime activities from A-Z, with llamas lying down in wooly pajamas and turtles tucking in their necks, is a good idea, but hardly a unique one. The illustrations of attractive creatures are darkly tinted to portray a moonlit atmosphere; they are competent but don't give the book the spark it needs. Librarians wishing to add depth and variety to their alphabet-book collections should look to Martin's Chicka Chicka Boom Boom (S. & S., 1989) or Dragonwagon's Alligator Arrived with Apples (Macmillan, 1987). --Joyce Richards, Prairie Grove Elementary School, ARCopyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.
