Synopsis:
Put on your life jacket, hop in the boat, and raise your binoculars--it's time to go on an adventure!
In Daniel Bernstrom's follow-up to the critically acclaimed One Day in the Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Tree, a fearless little girl takes off in search of a giant gator--but she's not going into that swamp alone! No way! She wants YOU, the reader, to come along.
Off you go, peering through the lush landscapes, looking for that gator! But each time you think you see it? Oops! Just a fox. Or some ducks! Or a snake. Maybe you'll never find the gator, gator, gator...
With stunning illustrations from Sendak Fellow Frann Preston-Gannon, readers experience the feeling of being on a real adventure deep in the swamp. Rhyming, repeating, and exhilarating, the text is a delightful read-aloud romp that will entertain and make everyone's heart skip a beat!

My Thoughts:
Gator, Gator, Gator! is one of the most exhilarating picture books we've read so far this year!
There's a fearless little girl who wants nothing more than to spot a gator, and she wants us to go out on the boat in search of him with her! She knows he is out there but we keep spotting other critters instead, until...
The full-spread illustrations are gorgeous! I loved how each page is filled with an array of flora and fauna, making you feel like you are right there in the bayou. Likewise, my daughter and I loved the fun and plentiful rhymes!

My daughter loves this book so much that we read it every night for weeks and then she insisted on reading it to me every night for just as long. I have yet to be bothered by it, either! We love that the ending gives us a chance to start the entire story all over again!We've even been out on our own 'gator sighting adventures' recently and my fearless little girl is always quick to remind us of this book and how fun it is to (safely) go searching for a gator, gator, gator!
Good books :) I think it was also possible to try to draw pictures on this book using pencils like these https://wowpencils.com/sargent-art-colored-pencils-review/ after all, drawing together is fun!
