This picture book is a quirky, funny cautionary tale about how the grass (or swamp) is not always greener elsewhere!

See you later alligator... Gary the alligator grows tired of his small, soggy swamp and decides a nearby human house would be far more comfortable and luxurious. How wrong he turns out to be! This charmingly illustrated picture book is darkly detailed with a humorous ending.

"In this U.K. import, a curious alligator explores a home while its human inhabitants are away [...] Suddendorf's text hilariously reflects Gary's naïve perspective on human life; even more delightful are the vintage-feeling illustrations. Gary's twisted body positions and dramatic expressions are endearing and full of movement. Every spread is packed with charming details that readers will want to pore over and giggle about. With a perfectly timed final punchline and recognizable parallels with "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," this one will guarantee laughs at storytime. [...]The spirited tale of the most adorable interloping gator you'll ever meet." - Kirkus Reviews

"[...] Suddendorf's superbly silly story gestures a clear nod to Waber's Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, as she notably remodels a not-so-swampy yet still iconic bathtub scene-this time overflowing with pink soap, with the family's black cat popping bubbles in the background. Using a multi-medium technique, the illustrations are textured with saturated purples, pinks, and greens, consequently producing a light and bright effect. Carefully drawn features, including a gallery of photos and paintings decorating the interior of the house, are rendered with scribbly, fine lines and leave a memorable impression, encouraging a double-take from readers who delight in small details. The uncomplicated story makes for the perfect lap read, and Gary's toothy grin is sure to leave a lasting mark as he states, "In a while, human child," on his way back home." - Recommended Review, Bulletin Center for Children's Books
