My Dad's Got an Alligator!
Illustrated by Nick Sharratt
As if totally eccentric parents (Dad has a weird, apricot, shaving foam beard and Mum a wild taste in earrings), a dotty, deaf granny and a son who has an uncomfortably firm grasp of the sensible weren't enough, Dad has to bring home an alligator-real, live and unstuffed. Crunchbag is soon causing mega mayhem, and there seems to be no limit to the mischief he can create. Jeremy Strong's feel for the funny throwaway line is sound to the last page and had my class clammering for more.
