From the hilarious author of Who Wet My Pants?, Unicorn Thinks He’s Pretty Great, and the Dinosaur Vs. series comes a kid-pleasing read-aloud about a devious alligator who learns to love!

Welcome to Chez Bob, which
seems like a real restaurant…until you realize…it’s on an alligator’s NOSE! Bob’s got a hidden plan for his customers:
“Birds will come to eat, but I will eat the birds!” As they fly in from all over the world to dine on Bob’s face, something starts to happen that takes the lazy, hungry reptile by surprise — the birds
stay. ”
More yummy birds!” he rejoices — he’ll want for nothing! But when the time is right, will Bob make the right choice?

Comic genius Bob Shea cooks up a tasty tale that proves anyone, even hungry alligators, can have a change of heart and learn to be a good friend.

Review

* “Readers will laugh at this funny story… kids will cheer for the heartwarming ending. Appropriately droll illustrations perfectly match the lively shenanigans and depict Bob with a toothy, expressive mug. This is one to devour.”―
Kirkus Reviews

* “Shea puts a fresh spin on the tale of a villain reformed by spoofing contemporary rhetoric around the communal good: as a “positive role model for the birds I’m going to eat,” Bob even coaches a local bird basketball team. Shea’s always-striking art has a marvelous lightness here, thanks to the bevy of bird characters and a cheery tropical palette, making for a book that’s funny a lovely to look at, too.”―
Publishers Weekly

“The deadpan humor will be appreciated even by older siblings who just might be glancing over younger shoulders.”―
Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
