Avoid Angry Alligators is a book that feels like it forgot what it is meant to be and also as if the author is a teacher or some sort who got the inspiration for said book by looking at an assignment while thinking I could make this into a book.

The text starts off and appears in batches as alphabetically organized such as A-D but then it skips to G. Unlike K where a non-alphabetical letter starts off the thought, the letters are fully gone. Furthermore each page has two thoughts composed into a rhyme that doesn't flow into the next thought.

And instead of keeping with the cartoonish alligators as are on the cover, the reader is subjected to pages with the same background components and varying hand-drawn figures in crayon that are just over the scribbles of a child.

But my biggest complaint is you are going to use the spiritual gifts of the New Testament but then ignore God and subscribe the reader to today's decree of "kindness", "temporary joys" and "self-love" to get ahead.

And so this a no-go book for me....

A sweet reminder that kindness can be a powerful choice.

Avoid Angry Alligators is a fun and colorful children's book that uses playful rhymes and memorable lessons to introduce children to kindness, empathy, and handling difficult emotions.

I especially like how the alligator theme makes the message approachable and entertaining while still encouraging children to think about how they respond when they feel angry or frustrated. The rhyming style also makes it well suited for reading aloud with young children.

It’s a lovely choice for parents, teachers, and caregivers looking for a lighthearted story that can open up meaningful conversations about emotions, kindness, and positive choices.

A cheerful book with an important message: sometimes choosing kindness is the best way forward. 💚🐊📚

This book is an absolute delight. The illustrations are vibrant and full of personality, making the "alligators" and other characters come alive in a fun, not-so-scary way. It's a visual treat that kept my nephew engaged while the important message sunk in. The combination of beautiful pictures and motivational rhymes makes it a perfect gift. It's one of those rare books that is just as enjoyable for the adult reading it aloud as it is for the child listening. A beautiful addition to any bookshelf!

[Eric Bond · Rating 5 out of 5]

We used Avoid Angry Alligators as part of our social emotional learning curriculum, and it was a hit with both my six year old and my nine year old. The rhymes are engaging and memorable, and the illustrations kept everyone captivated. The message about choosing kindness and staying calm is one that all children need to hear, and this book presents it in such a fun, accessible way. I love that it sparks meaningful conversations about feelings and self control. Highly recommended for homeschooling families!

[Festus Festus · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a kindergarten teacher, I am always on the lookout for books that support social emotional learning (SEL), and this one is a gem. The book is the perfect length for a read aloud during circle time, and the students were completely captivated by the illustrations and the playful text. The metaphor of "angry alligators" is a fantastic visual for kids to understand anger and how to deal with it. The kids were repeating the rhymes by the end of the first reading. It's a fantastic tool for building a kind and calm classroom environment!

[Scotliteboost · Rating 5 out of 5]

Avoid the Angry Alligator is a delightful and imaginative read that instantly grabs a child’s attention while teaching an important lesson about caution and curiosity. The illustrations are vibrant, and the pacing keeps kids engaged from start to finish. It’s the kind of story little ones ask to hear again and one that gives parents something meaningful to talk about afterward. A wonderful addition to any child’s bookshelf!

The rhymes are clever and easy to remember, and the core message is simple: be kind, stay calm, and don't let the "alligators" get you down. It's perfect for Storytime and a wonderful way to promote positive character building. I'll be recommending this to every parent I know.

I bought this book for my five year old grandson, and we have read it together countless times. He loves the playful rhymes and the colorful alligators, and I love that he is learning such an important life lesson while having so much fun. It sparked wonderful conversations about feelings, kindness, and how we can choose to respond when we are upset. This is one of those books that will stay with a child for years. A true treasure.
