I think I agree with the GP. I just tried to explain this to my 5 y/o (admittedly she is possibly too young).

Questions I faced:

"Which alligator is the mummy?"

"Why does the alligator want to eat the other one? Don't alligators eat people?"

"Where is the pink alligator?"

"When the egg hatches will it be a boy or a girl? Because I don't like boy alligators."

We had a lot of fun, but it didn't come anywhere close to achieving any kind of stealth learning outcomes, which seems to be its intention.
