Product Description
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-These three easy-readers combine brightly colored illustrations with short simple stories. Readability is determined using the Reading Recovery model, and each book features a meet-the-author section. In Sometimes, an alligator engages in all sorts of activities, such as cooking, ice fishing, and playing the banjo. The text is repetitive: "Sometimes I am happy. Sometimes I am sad." The reptile has lots of expression, and even nonreaders could recite/read this story after hearing it once or twice. Catch Me features a T-rex that frightens all of the other dinosaurs, except for one, who turns out to be his loving grandchild. The illustrations, done in markers, reflect Most's typical flat style. Written in rhyming couplets, Shoe Town is the best of the bunch. After her children move out, a mother mouse just wants to relax in her shoe home. Various nursery-rhyme characters ask to move in, but she insists they get their own shoes. The cow jumping over the moon keeps a count of the population of "Shoe Town" as it grows. Stevens's illustrations are irresistible, and the tale works well as a read-aloud or read-alone.

From Booklist
For the newest readers, Baker's poetic book offers a repetitive, meaningful text. Each page carries a full-color illustration and one short sentence: "Sometimes I am happy" or "Sometimes I am sad." The refrain that follows ("I like who I am. I like what I do.") is accompanied by a double-page illustration. In these sprightly scenes, the alligator is lying in bed singing and playing his many musical instruments, or decorating special cakes, or painting a still life. This pattern repeats twice more for a total text of 70 words, 21 of which are different. Baker's lively illustrations capture the personality and moods of an alligator, who reflects the many sides of young children. Kathy Broderick

An alligator and his feelings. Regardless how I feel I like me!, Jun 26 2009
By KSL "emma-and-me" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sometimes (Paperback)
This is a great beginners readers book. This book is about an alligator who talks about his / her feelings. Sometimes I am happy, sometimes I am .... and then the next 2 pages says I like who I am. I like what I do.This is a really cute book about how you might feel one day and have different feeling on a different day. I think it's cool that the book say I like who I am. I think it's important for our children to know they are OK and that one day you might be up and another day feeling sad and blue.
The illustrations done by the author and are done using colorful acrylic paint. Great also for alligators
