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 *

Author Information

April Suddendorf is an illustrator and author from all over (but currently based in Dublin). Her current favourite answer to “Where are you from?” Is that she’s genetically German, Dutch by birth and culturally English. Even as a child, she enjoyed illustrating (even if it was just her mother's shopping lists at first) and she’d spend hours gazing at her picture books. She studied Communication Design and Media and graduated in 2022 with her diploma project ""Wacky Witches"". She completed her Master’s in Children’s and Young Adult Literature in 2024, focussing on the fairytales of the Brothers Grimm. When she’s not drawing or thinking about drawing, she can usually be found crafting health-hazardous earrings, knitting lumpy sweaters or walking around outside (thinking about drawing).
