I liked this book because it was good. I learned about alligators. Alligators like to eat meat. If they eat a big meal, they can wait a whole year to eat again!

This book had lots of fun facts, but a generous sprinkling of evolutionary theories.

[Robert · Rating 2 out of 5]

The Book is fine but my 4 and 6 year old kids had a dozen more qestions, like how long do alligators live. This book talked more about eating and growing than other fun facts they wanted to know.
