Alan's Big, Scary Teeth

Product Information

A jungly jaunt that’s sure to bring Alan-sized smiles to the faces of listeners (not to mention the occasional adult reader aloud) and I love those vibrant, energetic scenes and some of the small details are real giggle-inducers. This is a good title for primary collections and collections that need strong, artistic storytelling on their shelves. Witty, charming, and playful storytelling will have preschoolers cheering for Alan as he discovers a new way to fit in. Like the best picture books, it is a pleasingly simple story, set in a faraway place, with a lot to say to young readers. But after a long day of scaring, Alan likes nothing better than to run a warm mud bath and take out his false teeth, which nobody knows about!

Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. It’s true that they keep things in the jungle running exactly as Alan’s always wanted them, with everyone doing as he bids. The witty Jarvis ("Lazy Dave") makes all the right moves, drawing Alan's jungle world with his usual loose, jagged charm.The witty Jarvis (“Lazy Dave”) makes all the right moves, drawing Alan’s jungle world with his usual loose, jagged charm.
