Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The lady of nonsense-rhyme fame cures Tiny Tim of his mysterious ailment in this whimsically illustrated rendition. Ages 4-8.
Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2 Westcott adapts a jump rope rhyme about the misadventures of Tiny Tim to create a zany book of non sense that demands reading aloud. Af ter the mischievous baby drinks his bathwater, eats the soap, and tries to stuff the bathtub down his throat, his mother calls the doctor, the nurse, and the lady with the alligator purse. When medical cures fail, the lady produces pizza. The colorful illustrations filled with frenzied activities sustain the silli ness and the absurdity of the story. The alligator purse is a miniature alligator with a handle on its back, for example. Even the cat and the dog are part of the energetic fun, pulling up chairs next to Tim's bed for a pizza feast. A book that children are sure to devour. Kathy Piehl, Mankato State Univ . , Minn.

Customer Reviews
Awesome book....
SO fun to read! Rhyming text makes it easy for little ones to remember!
Fun to sing
WE loooove this book. Checked it out over and over from library so had to buy it. we sing it and act it out and just love to read it.
Fun
This book is cute and fun to sing with my 17 month old. However, she really doesn't get to excited over it. The pictures are still a little boring to her and I sometimes have trouble keeping her attention with the book. I think she may still be a little young for it and hope she will become more interested in it as she gets a little older.
