From School Library Journal:
Grade 1-3-From the opening life-sized, six-page spread of an American alligator to the mysterious, mostly submerged gator glimpsing on the endpapers, watercolor illustrations invite children in for a look at the life cycle and habitat of this imposing creature. Basic information appears in large type and details appear in smaller illustrations with captions set into the backgrounds of many of the pictures. Physical characteristics, behavior, comparisons with other animals sharing its wetland habitat, and its place within that ecosystem are conveyed in simple, lively language and softly realistic illustrations. A warning about how to behave around these predators is convincingly placed between gaping jaws. The pages depicting alligator sounds are covered with what could be mistaken for childish scrawl, but the resulting imitations will be welcome in a story time, a classroom, or on a lap. Buy plenty- this one will crawl quickly off the shelves.
