Review

Jarvis is my new favorite author/illustrator and "Alan's big, scary teeth" is my new favorite read aloud. Alan the alligator is very proud of his appearance and spends time on his grooming and brushing his big scary teeth for ten minutes a day so he can snap and grrr and scare the other animal. What they don't know is that Alan has false teeth that he takes out at night. "Good night teeth. Thweet Dweams, my Thcary Thnappers," Alan would say, as he put them away in his super secret hiding place. Laugh out loud at as the high jinxs continue until the jungle animals come up with a solution they can all sink their teeth into. "BWA-HA-HA!"

Overall Book Score: excellent
