Snip Snap!: What's That?

(3) PS Illustrated by Nick Maland. When an alligator creeps into the apartment of three siblings, "Were the children scared? / YOU BET THEY WERE!" The repeated refrain adds suspense; the lighthearted illustrations make the story not too scary. The children finally order the alligator out "and was the alligator scared? / YOU BET IT WAS!" (In an urban legend nod, he retreats to the sewers.)
