Alan's Big, Scary Teeth

32 pp. | Candlewick | February, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-8120-3 $16.99
(4) K-3 Alligator Alan terrorizes his jungle-mates by flashing sharp, well-polished teeth--until Barry the beaver reveals those teeth are false. Some narrative choices fall flat: beavers do not live in jungles, and Alan's toothless lisp, while comical, seems to make fun of those with speech impediments. Still, the book is a visual feast of pencil, chalk, paint, and digital coloring that vividly convey the wild setting.
