*A Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Books of the Year* From the author of One Day in the Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Tree : Do you wanna? Wanna see? Let's go find that gator, gator, gator COME WITH ME 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 -- Kirkus Reviews.
