Awesome book! I was so entertained while reading this book, and it was a total blast to read! Since this was my own personal reading experience, I believe that every little one that reads this book is going to be full of joy and giggles as they read. Semi-realistic kids' books such as this one rarely fail to disappoint, and this book wasn't an exception to that rule (meaning I was NOT disappointed at all). Additionally, I loved seeing the progression of the boys' feelings towards Alistair, going from fear to friendship over the course of the whole book. Lastly, the illustrations were phenomenal! The alligators were surprisingly adorable, and emotions were conveyed flawlessly throughout. This book was amazing overall!

Why is there an alligator in their bathtub? Peyton and Bennett don't know why but they need to get him out so they can use it. But how can they make him get out? This was a very cute picture book with a satisfying ending

Thank you so much to Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC with my child. She LOVES alligators and found this book so charming. In her own words, her favorite part was “the super cute baby alligators”. The story was really cute and a fun little tale for us to read together before bed. She is still in a learning curve to read and it was simple enough that she could get some of the words herself.

We both really enjoyed this one!
