Awesome!

This is the most delightful book for children of all ages. I found my first copy in a discount bin, and have since purchased SEVEN additional copies to give as gifts! What a shame that it is no longer in print.

My 4 yr old loves this book

My daughter was given this book for her 4th b-day. She likes books but this one really got her attention. She thinks it's the funniest book she's ever heard and we can never read it just once in a sitting. She also likes to make-up stories about what Alberto does when he's swiming in the sewers - good thing she doesn't really understand what a sewer is :-) It's a sweet, silly story that I don't mind reading multiple times every day.

Had to own a copy!

we borrowed this book from the library, and my 2 & 4 year olds loved it. We had to buy a copy to add to our collection of favorites! This is a wonderful story of a little girl and her pet alligator who become separated, due to some funny mishap, and their journey to find eachother again. It's a fun book to read and the illustrations are wonderful. This is one of our family's favorite!

Friendship is a tango.

Alberto is an alligator who loves to dance the tango with his friend, Tina. One day while dancing in the bathroom, Alberto is accidentally flushed down the toilet! When everyone in town panics about alligators in the sewers, only Tina knows what to do.This incredibly funny story combines likeable characters and colorful illustrations. Readers will love the hilarious mix-up and the friendship shared by an alligator and a girl.READING LEVEL: Grades 1-3
