Alligator Childrens Books (and Crocodiles!)

Alfie loves his mommy's cookies, and he wants one more than anything! But grabbing for one, fishing for one, and dressing up as a cookie inspector don't seem to work. His mommy says there is a better way. What is it?

A silly story with bright, engaging illustrations and expressive, rhyming text that children will want to read—and giggle through—again and again.

With perfect comic pacing, Greg Pizzoli introduces us to one funny crocodile who has one big fear: swallowing a watermelon seed.

What will he do when his greatest fear is realized? Will vines sprout out his ears? Will his skin turn pink? This crocodile has a wild imagination that kids will love.

The Enormous Crocodile is a horrid greedy grumptious brute who loves to guzzle up little boys and girls. But the other animals have had enough of his cunning tricks, so they scheme to get the better of this foul fiend, once and for all!

While robbing Egypt's mummies, sphinxes, and palm trees, Napoleon can't resist bringing home a souvenir crocodile as well. All Paris is enchanted with this exotic creature.

For a crocodile with an appetite as big as his ego, being the toast of the town has its downside, too.

Every morning a very large and very snappy crocodile claims the river as his own.

Until one day the creatures are woken by a loud groaning sound which turns out to be the selfish crocodile in a lot of pain, and the smallest of them all, a little mouse, finds a way to solve their snappy dilemma!

What would you do if you were settling down for a quiet bedtime story and you realized that a crocodile had fallen into your storybook and was — not to put too fine a point on it — wreaking havoc?

Would you slam that book shut and cram it back onto the bookshelf? Or would you be brave enough to peek?

Fun-to-read-aloud, rhyming text describes prickly porcupines, roaring tigers, and slithery snakes -- not the most cuddly creatures, but still worthy of hugs and snuggles from their mamas!

Note to self: If your teacher tells you to bring something from nature for show-and-tell, she does not want you to bring an alligator!

Nothing will stop Magnolia, who's determined to have the best show-and-tell of all -- until her reptilian rapscallion starts getting her into some major trouble.

The nightmare's gone, but what about that alligator?
