This was really good! I will review when Indy has read it and see what shenanigans he gets up to during the reading process! A nice book about kids routines, and the differences we come across from child to child. Cute and worthwhile. I know having teenagers in our house, we are all aware of the differences from household to household. Reese always gets funny looks from her friends family when she eats her pancakes differently!!

Along with the story is a CD as an audio book. Each time the didgeridoo played, we turned the page. Indy enjoyed following the story, as each different child was described with its adjoining illustration. This author/illustrator is very talented.

Clive was a funny lad, he certainly loves his alligators! I asked Indy if I should return it to work (my library) or keep it? ‘Keep it!’ Easy done.

Clive eats alligators is a great book to teach children that everyone is different and unique. It is a book about seven children who enjoy doing and eating different things throughout the day. I would recommend the book for young children.

For five year old son’s speech therapy homework to ask a variety of who, what, where, why type of questions and to increase theory of mind.

Good children's book. My 3.5 year olds enjoy it, but the illustrations are a bit simpler than some of her other books and don't quite hold the kid's attention as long.

Another one of Alison Lester's books.

A fave of mine when I was a teen and collected children's books. Now I read it to my kids. The format and illustrations make this a classic.
