Oliver and His Alligator by Paul Schmid-ADVISABLE



Schmid, Paul, Oliver and His Alligator. Disney Hyperion, 2013. PICTURE BOOK.

Oliver is scared of his first day of school. To gather a little courage, he decides to take his alligator with him. Whenever Oliver gets scared, he says “munch, munch” and the alligator eats the item of his fear. Will Oliver learn to face his new situation? Can he be brave?

The text is simple and the illustrations bring the story to life. The fun, surprise twist at the end will delight and entertain little children as well as help them to cope with starting school. PreK, EL (K-2). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Jessica Moody Library Media Specialist, Olympus Jr. High.
