Alan the alligator likes to scare other animals. It is his heritage. And his well-kept, razor sharp teeth are what scares everyone the most. The secret is that Alan's teeth are really dentures and they have been stolen! The jungle animals make a deal to return his teeth if he figures out other ways to be part of the jungle. Which he does! Fun, humorous, and silly. A perfect storytime read-aloud. Curriculum tie-in: teeth, kindness Another picture book: Leonardo, the Terrible Monster by Mo Willems Poem: Crocodile's Toothache by Shel Silverstein

Alan and his big scary teeth frighten all the other animals in the jungle...but without his teeth, Alan's not so scary.

Bright colors, funny story - great for storytime. Read in the Carle library. ( )
