There's an Alligator Under My Bed

Mercer Mayer
(Macmillan Children's Books)
978-0333471111, RRP £3.99, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Buy "There's an Alligator Under My Bed (Picturemacs)" on Amazon

Again, a familiar scenario; small boy thinks there is an alligator under his bed, mum and dad can't see it but he can. How will he deal with it? It could be read as a book to enable children to deal with night fears and the nature of reality and unreality, or it could be enjoyed for its jolly passing of the buck ending. I recommend the latter approach. The big format of Picturemac suits the bold pictures, and the text is brief but interesting and very clearly printed.
