HOORAY FOR AMANDA & HER ALLIGATOR!

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Mo Willems, Cher Willems, Trixie Willems

Children Ages 4-6 • 12 mins. • Unabridged • © 2011

Listening to the six-and-a-half stories about Amanda and her stuffed pet will make young listeners perk up their ears. Alligator is despondent when Amanda is out with her grandfather or at the library, dejected when he learns his true “value,” and incensed when Amanda arrives home with a new stuffed friend. Yet, as only youngsters can, Amanda and her alligator solve their differences simply and satisfyingly. The Willems family jump into their narrator roles with relish and understanding. Narrator Cher elongates phrases or lowers her voice to add emphasis. Trixie sounds just like a kid conversing spiritedly with her stuffed animal. Alligator oozes personality, thanks to Mo’s gruff, friendly, and expressive voice. Mo Willems shares his inspirations for this book in a concluding interview. A.R.
