I Am Reading Alligator Tales and Crocodile Cakes
Gr. 1-3. This cheerful title in the I Am Reading series includes two short stories accompanied by playful watercolor illustrations that pick up the mayhem and fun between two friends. Bespectacled Crocodile is the one in charge. When they play hide-and-seek, Crocodile finds Alligator every time, until Alligator finally works out the best place to hide. When the friends bake a cake, Alligator is messy, but they both wipe up the mess. What Alligator is best at iseatingcake. New readers will enjoy the friendship story, with gentle slapstick reminiscent of Arnold Lobel's Frog and Toad easy readers.Hazel RochmanCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
