This fun picture book by Bob Shea is about a lazy alligator who wants to trick the poor birds into his belly. He dreams of fame and riches, but what happens when Bob starts to get to know the birds and become a part of the community?
Will Bob become a different alligator? A great story that teaches us all the power of friendship to overcome loneliness.

This book has tongue in cheek humor (something Scott really appreciates). I loved seeing Alligator Bob figure out how to attract animals to his restaurant....only for them to be the main offering on the menu ;)

Welcome to Chez Bob, a restaurant made for birds by a clever alligator. Don't miss the birdseed that is specially seasoned with Bob's favorite spices! Where did Bob get this amazing business idea? Well, his hungry stomach is to blame, of course! Bob is definitely planning on eating these friendly birds that he welcomes to eat atop his snout...or is he?

Bob Shea puts together a clever, humorous, and fun picture book! My daughter and I found ourselves giggling throughout this story and also finding our hearts touched at the end! This is a great addition to Bob Shea's library and I bet you will love this book too!

Adorable story of an alligator who is trying to trick the birds into getting eaten, but then just falls in love with them.
