Featured on the New York Times Children's Picture Book Bestseller List for Sixteen Weeks!SCHOLASTIC READING COUNTS! SELECTION"A crackerjack of a book!"--Daniel Pinkwater, National Public Radio's "Weekend Edition"What if alligators were less ferocious and more like curious children exploring their surroundings? That is exactly the image that Miles Smeeton portrays in Pelican's new book of alligator poems. Smeeton, along with illustrator Eric Grantvedt, shows alligators in many different situations. They are taking a bath and leaving a mess in "Bathroom Alligator," flying and staffing a plane in "Alligator Air Crew," and singing in "Siren Alligator." Smeeton's rhymes and Grantvedt's images depict an easygoing and comic side of an animal that many people consider to be a ferocious beast, making the book ideal for children and adults alike.Smeeton, Miles is the author of 'Alligator Tales And Crocodiles Too!' with ISBN 9781565548473 and ISBN 1565548477.
