"You can almost hear the skipping rope slapping the sidewalk, wrote Margaret Laurence of Dennis Lees timeless poetry collection Alligator Pie. One of the first illustrated books published about Canadian children and featuring Canadian place names, Alligator Pie established Dennis Lees reputation as Canadas Father Goose and has sold more than half a million copies since its publication in 1974. This classic edition, featuring Frank Newfelds instantly recognizable original illustrations and book design, includes childhood favourites such as Willoughby Wallaby Woo, Wiggle to the Laundromat and Skyscraper.

The rhyme is consistent and follows an easy pattern. Great for kids.

Oh, you know, just a typical Canadian children's book from the 70s. #twisted (Fun fact: I was born in Moose Jaw)

A favorite from my childhood. I remember seeing those poems done live and I still have many of them memorized. Really enjoying reading these with my son. Fun nursery rhymes featuring Canadian places and silliness. "Alligator pie, alligator pie, if I don't get some I think I'm gonna die, give away my hockey stick..."
