K-3Green Light Readers series.
Originally published in a previous Mr. and Mrs. Green story collection, this beginning reader features the affectionate alligator couple in a gumball-guessing contest. The episode reinforces the Greens' exuberance, employs simple and often repetitive sentences, and introduces related skills including counting and math. The illustrations match the playful tone and give the alligators personality.
