Baby Alligator Comes To Play

I made this story up quite a few years ago when my granddaughter, Angela was three years-old. She is now nineteen years-old. She was afraid of the dark, and this story helped her overcome her fears. I hope it helps all my readers face their fears.

When an alligator and her baby came creeping, creeping into the playground, were the people scared? You bet they were! But as three brave children soon discover, the alligators aren't there to eat them after all! A joy to read aloud with outstanding illustrations, this follow-up to the award-winning Snip Snap! (now reissued as Here Comes the Alligator!) will be relished by children and adults alike. 'The original story is a sure fire hit as a read aloud and fans will definitely want to try this sequel.'
