"A solid choice for second- and third-grade readers." -"The Horn Book "Because Edward Fraser has been creeping around blissfully imitating the crocodile in Peter Pan, his family is skeptical when he claims to have seen an alligator in the local park's lake. Everyone else believes with a vengeance, however, and the alligator grows in reported size . . . Soon a gen-u-wine gator-hunter (and his feisty granddaughter) is called in, and Edward begins to fear for the playful baby alligator . . . There's real craftsmanship under the lighthearted humor, and kids will be happy to see Edward's honor, general order, and the baby alligator restored." -"The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Young readers will enjoy this light tale of neighborhood adventure, and will be pleased with the ending, happy for all." -"School Library JournalCutler, Jane is the author of ''gator Aid', published 2002 under ISBN 9780613718615 and ISBN 0613718615.
