Alligator Boy

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Diane Goode. After a boy announces his desire to be "somebody new," he dons an alligator get-up and proceeds to spend his days with what he considers a wonderful new identity, although (as amused readers will note) his everyday life doesn't change. The story sputters out, but Rylant's rhymes bounce, and the art is funny and sensitive.
