Oliver and His Alligator

32 pp. | Hyperion | June, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4231-7437-0 $15.99
(3) K-3 Oliver, anxious about school, brings an alligator along "just in case..." When things do get rough, the alligator snaps up the teacher and the other students. Hearing laughter and chatter from inside its belly inspires Oliver to rejoin the class. Pastel-pencil drawings in muted mint-green and lilac tones gently bring to life Oliver's nerves while lending levity to this common childhood fear.
