  <default_description>Legend has it that alligators live in the New York City sewers. But city life isn&#8217;t for everyone. Some of those alligators packed up and swam away in search of peace and quiet. Why, they could be living right under your feet. This explains a lot of things. Like what does the babysitter do after you go to bed? &lt;i&gt;Alligators love to play Go Fish.&lt;/i&gt; And where do teachers go in the summer? &lt;i&gt;Alligators know the value of a good education.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt; Uproariously funny illustrations and an author&#8217;s note about what&#8217;s really living in the NYC sewer system enhance this wry tale.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This story started off really fun. Playing on the urban legend of gators in the NYC sewer. About half way through the story almost seems like a 2nd story. A bit disjointed.<br/><br/>The illustrations were fun as were the wacky circumstances the gators ended up in. <br/><br/>My 4 year old is week...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66545215">more...</a>]]></body>
